Delhi days…



Full of talent Actor Manoj Bajpai in New Delhi

New Delhi had its own share of joy and happiness at a pre-Christmas party at IKKO bar-restaurant on New Delhi’s Malcha Marg this past week. It was attended by who’s who from the Bollywood and fashion fraternity – from Manoj Bajpai, Shawar Ali, Zulfi Syed, Shibani Kashyap to Shahnaz Hussain and many more.

For Manoj, it was an occasion to remember his student days in Delhi. “Delhi is the city of my struggle. I studied here. I used to go to JNU regularly where my brother used to stay. Its Ganga Dhaba was my favourite joint where I used to enjoy paranthas and tea.”

This National School of Drama product, who made it to Bollywood through sheer hard work, has one remorse, “The people in Champaran in Bihar where I hail from, still don’t give respect to actors or those who work in ‘dramas’. I am not taken as a very respectable person there. People are traditional there. But the mindset is slowly changing there too.”

Manoj’s favourite film is Shool.

“I like it because it is against corruption so am I,” he concluded while slipping into the din of the party.

SAHARE ALAM
