Manoj Bajpayee on his relationship with Mumbai

When asked to describe his relationship with the city, Manoj Bajpayee states, "It`s very neutral. I`m like an observer who is also working here. It can`t be love, it can`t be hate because I came from Bihar to Delhi, then Delhi University, and theatre, then I came to Mumbai. I always felt like a refugee going from one place to another. Maybe not finding a home where you can think of going back for years. That has never made me feel sentimental.”
