Manoj Bajpayee
has been a prominent figure in the Indian film industry for decades. Recently, he shared his personal
struggle
with
anxiety
during an interview. Despite experiencing anxious moments, Bajpayee doesn’t let them take over his life. Instead, he confronts them directly by working even harder on tough days.
In a chat with News18, the ‘
The Family Man
’ actor explained that while he does face anxiety, he believes he has the strength to
overcome
it.
When he’s feeling low, he pushes himself to get back on track, working with renewed determination. Bajpayee revealed that he’s not one to retreat and wallow in his feelings; instead, he tackles his
challenges
head-on, much like a “
hungry tiger
.”

In addition to his own coping strategies, Bajpayee shared an unconventional approach to helping others deal with their anxiety. He sometimes uses surprising methods to encourage people to express their true emotions. He believes that instead of gently comforting someone, shocking them out of their comfort zone can be more effective in helping them open up.
The ‘Family Man’ star has used these methods in workshops with actors and also with friends going through difficult times. He might drag them out for a movie or a drink, or in some cases, provoke them to express their feelings by making them cry or shout. His goal is to help them move past their struggles by getting them to
confront
and express their emotions.
On the work front, Bajpayee’s latest project was the OTT film ‘Bhaiyya Ji’.
