Manoj Bajpayee talks about stereotypes related to men’s emotions

Manoj Bajpayee recently delved into the stereotype surrounding men and how they are often discouraged from expressing their pain and emotions. In an interview with Pinkvilla, the actor while sharing insights into how he personally navigates and expresses his emotions, raised a poignant question, 'Mard ko dard kyun nahi hoga?' He said, 'Mard ko dard nahi hota,’ ab yeh line hai ek Hindi film ka. Mard ko dard kyu ni hoga? If a thorn pricks, he will scream too. Firstly, you are stereotyping, and secondly, you are forcing him not to express his pain. Why can't he express his pain?' Further, while speaking about the label of the ‘weaker sex’ assigned to women, the 'Gangs of Wasseypur' actor mentioned, 'Aurtein jo hain izhaar kar deti hain, chahe woh gussa hain, chahe woh apne andar ka bahut hi vulnerable emotion hai. Lekin mentally bahut tough hoti hain.' The actor added, 'They have always been considered the weaker sex and I always feel, why are they considered the weaker sex? A man can shout while holding a mace and a bow and arrow, but she can attack with her mind, so that's why I don't consider her the weaker sex.' When asked about his expressiveness as a man, Manoj clarified, 'Not as a man but as a human being I have never been. I have always been a very introverted person, but anybody can be introverted, a woman can be introverted.' Meanwhile, on the work front, known for his acting prowess, Manoj Bajpayee will next be seen in survival thriller 'Joram.' For more news and updates, stay tuned to ETimes.
