Manoj Bajpayee is one of the most successful and versatile actors we have in the industry today. The actor, who made his Bollywood debut in 1994 with Shekhar Kapur's Bandit Queen, has been successful in making his mark in the entertainment industry.
But little did anyone know that he would also share his tough and troubled times as an actor and how he was depressed and was close to committing suicide due to frequent rejections. In an interaction with Humans of Bombay, Manoj said that he aspired to become an actor since the age of nine. He said, "I'm a farmer's son; I grew up in a village in Bihar with 5 siblings–we went to a hut school. We led a simple life, but whenever we went to the city, we'd go to the theatre. I was a Bachchan fan & wanted to be like him. At 9, I knew acting was my destiny. But I couldn't afford to dream and continued my studies."
