Mumbai, Nov 25: Acclaimed actor Manoj Bajpayee has been receiving an enthusiastic response for the recently launched third season of 'The Family Man'. He shared his insights about filming in Nagaland, a region where nature remains a significant part of daily life.

Set against the backdrop of Nagaland, Bajpayee was captivated by the state's stunning landscapes and the warmth of its inhabitants.

He expressed, “Nagaland is so incredible that it’s hard to put into words. This was my first visit to this part of India, and shooting for 'The Family Man' here has been a truly enriching experience. We spent several weeks filming, and each day brought us delightful moments. The people, the cuisine, the culture—everything felt so genuine and welcoming.”

For Bajpayee, this filming experience was more than just a job; it was an opportunity to explore a region of India he had never encountered before.

Reflecting on the profound impact of his visit, he remarked, “It’s been a complete eye-opener. I encourage everyone to visit Nagaland at least once in their lifetime. The area feels pristine, untouched, and clean—offering a kind of natural beauty that is rare to find. One thing that struck me was how early the day begins here. We would rise at 4:30 or 5:00 am, and the sun would already be shining as if it were 9 or 10 in the morning. The community is active early, showcasing their close relationship with nature.”

Describing it as a must-visit location, he added, “There are few places where human life harmonizes so beautifully with the environment, flora, and fauna. Nagaland exemplifies this, being incredibly lush, with people who are exceptionally hospitable and kind-hearted. It’s a destination that should not be missed.”

He also expressed his joy in collaborating with Northeastern talents like Paalin Kabak, Rigen Ngomle, Poonam Gurung, and Vihotu Swu. “I’m thrilled that many actors and artists from the Northeast are featured in The Family Man Season 3. Engaging with them has been a surreal experience. They possess a global perspective in technology, fashion, and learning, yet remain deeply connected to their cultural roots. I believe that after watching Season 3, many viewers will be inspired to visit this beautiful region themselves.”

Written by Raj, DK, and Suman Kumar, 'The Family Man' is currently available for streaming on Prime Video.
