Manoj Bajpayee is one of the most talented actors in India and has time and again proven his versatility with different kinds of roles. The actor has also never minced his words and often speaks his mind openly. He has previously addressed the pay disparity in the industry. Back in 2023, Bajpayee spoke about being underpaid even after doing a successful show like The Family Man. He had also called himself a `sasta mazdoor`. So, have things changed after three seasons of the widely popular show where he plays secret agent Srikant Tiwari?

Manoj Bajpayee on pay disparity

Talking to India Today, Manoj Bajpayee said that he is still not paid as much as the bigger stars in the industry. “Humein chahe jitna bhi mile, humein utna nahi milta (Whatever we get, it’s not as much as what others get). We don`t get as much as the numbers you read about stars in the news. We continue to struggle for better pay — sangharsh jaari hai,” he said.
