Manoj Bajpayee Spending Quality Time With Family

Darpan News Desk IANS, 29 Dec, 2015 01:46 PM
    Actor Manoj Bajpayee, who is currently awaiting the release of his forthcoming film "Aligarh", which talks about gender identity in the society, is spending some quality time with wife Shabana Raza and daughter Ava Nyla. 
     
    The actor says for him, spending time with his family is "a festival in itself".
     
    "As an actor we have a very erratic schedule so whatever time we get, it becomes really special. For me, spending time with family is a festival in itself and going back to the place where I have spent my childhood makes it even more special," Manoj said in a statement. 
     
    The actor, who has been part of the National School of Drama in Delhi, says he wants to take his daughter to all those places where the actor made "beautiful memories".
     
    "We have visited Delhi lots of times, but this time I have decided to make my daughter visit all those places where her father made some beautiful memories," Bajpayee added.
     
    Set in a town in Uttar Pradesh from which the film takes its name, "Aligarh", is directed by Hansal Mehta. 
     
    The film will release on February 26 next year.
