Manoj Bajpayee is undoubtedly one of the best actors we have in the business right now. In honour of his performance in 2019’s Bhonsle, the actor has been awarded the National Film Award in the Best Actor category. Manoj is currently recovering from COVID-19 which he contracted while shooting for his film, Despatch. “I am feeling so happy, not only for myself, but also for my director Devashish Makhija, who has put all his beliefs and energy into it. I also feel thankful to Sandiip Kapoor, Piiyush Singh, and all the producers who have put in their energy and support in making this film. Also to each and everyone in the jury who thought if fit to give me this award,” the actor told a leading daily.
“Many times in the past, I felt many of my deserving ones got somewhere left out, but Bhonsle getting it has completely covered or made me forget everything that I didn’t get in the past. I thank everyone,” he added. This is the actor’s third National Award.
