Manoj Bajpayee says Bollywood being a fraternity ‘bullsh*t’: ‘No actor happy to see other succeed’

Manoj Bajpayee says Bollywood being a fraternity ‘bullsh*t’: ‘No actor happy to see other succeed’

Manoj Bajpayee, known for his outspoken nature, recently expressed his dissatisfaction with the Bollywood industry during an interaction with the audience on Bollywood Hungama. The actor, who has been a part of the industry for several years, lamented his sense of belonging and the lack of fraternity among industry professionals.

Bajpayee emphasized the importance of equal treatment on sets, with everyone sharing the same food, and open communication among actors. He rejected the notion that the industry is a family, stating that each office is built separately and no one parties or calls each other outside work. Bajpayee further criticized the industry, calling it a "bullsh*t" with no fraternity, where everyone fights their own battles and there is no support from others.

He highlighted the lack of discipline among many actors, which he believes affects their success. Bajpayee also addressed the growing wall between journalists and newer generation actors, attributing it to the increased reliance on social media and lack of personal interaction.
