Mumbai, Nov 25 (NationPress) Renowned actor Manoj Bajpayee, who has garnered immense praise for the recently launched third season of ‘The Family Man’, shared his insights from working in Nagaland, a region where the inhabitants maintain a profound bond with nature.
The new season unfolds in Nagaland, and Manoj was captivated by the state's breathtaking landscapes and the unpretentious demeanor of its residents.
He remarked, “Nagaland is so incredible that it’s hard to put into words. This was my first visit to this part of India, and filming for ‘The Family Man’ has been a genuinely transformative experience. We spent several weeks shooting, and each day was filled with amazing moments. The warmth of the people, the delicious food, and the rich culture all felt authentic and inviting.”
For Bajpayee, this filming experience was not merely another assignment; it was a unique opportunity to engage with a segment of India he had never previously explored.
Reflecting on the impact the region had on him, he stated, “This journey has been a true eye-opener. I strongly encourage everyone to visit Nagaland at least once in their lifetime. The environment feels pristine, untouched, and clean — a rare kind of natural beauty. I was pleasantly surprised by how early the locals begin their day. We would rise at around 4:30 or 5:00 am, and the sun would already be out, illuminating the surroundings as if it were 9 or 10 am. The community is vibrant and active from dawn, showcasing their close relationship with nature.”
Describing Nagaland as an essential travel destination, he added, “There are few places where human life harmonizes so beautifully with the environment, flora, and fauna. Nagaland embodies this, with its lush greenery and incredibly hospitable people. It’s definitely a place everyone should explore.”
He also expressed appreciation for collaborating with talented actors from the Northeast, including Paalin Kabak, Rigen Ngomle, Poonam Gurung, and Vihotu Swu. “I’m thrilled to see so many artists from the Northeast featured in The Family Man Season 3. Engaging with them and learning about their perspectives has been surreal. They blend global insights with a profound connection to their culture and traditions. I believe that after watching Season 3, many will be inspired to visit this beautiful region themselves.”
Written by Raj, DK, and Suman Kumar, ‘The Family Man’ can be streamed on Prime Video.
