After Sushant Singh Rajput’s sudden demise people are now coming out from the shell and talking about depression and suicidal thoughts. Recently, Bollywood’s veteran actor Manoj Bajpaee has opened up on his struggling days. He also talked about having suicidal thought s after getting rejected for three times straight.
While speaking to Humans of Bombay, he shared that being a farmer’s son it was not easy to achieve this success or even enter the entertainment industry. However, his father was quite supportive when he shared that he wants to pursue his career in acting. He further revealed that he was rejected by National School of Drama (NSD) three times and this led him into depression and he started having suicidal thoughts.
Manoj thanks his fans for being there and taking him out of the dark phase. He said, “I was close to committing suicide, so my friends would sleep next to me and not leave me alone. They kept me going until I was accepted.”
Talking about his struggling days in Mumbai he said that even a vada pav seemed costly and paying rent of chawl was also difficult for him. He recalls, once an AD tore his photo in front of him and within a day he lost three projects. Also, he was once told to ‘get out’ after his first shot. Manoj then went on to talk about how he got his first break in Bollywood, After 4 years of struggle, I got a role in Mahesh Bhatt’s TV series. My work was noticed & I was offered my first Bollywood film & soon, I got my big break with Satya.”
He concluded by saying that when it comes to turning dreams into reality, the hardships don’t matter. What matter is the belief of that 9-year-old Bihari boy and nothing else.
