Manoj Bajpayee excited for wife Shabana Raza to make her acting comeback: ‘I would love to work with her’

Manoj Bajpayee mentioned that his wife, Shabana Raza, expressed interest in returning to films but prefers not to work on projects produced by him.

Actor Manoj Bajpayee, currently engaged in promoting his forthcoming film Silence 2, embodies the essence of a dedicated family man. He prioritizes time off work solely for his daughter, Ava Nayla. Married to former actor Shabana Raza, known by her stage name Neha, Bajpayee eagerly anticipates her return to the silver screen and looks forward to the opportunity of collaborating with her on screen.

Shabana, renowned for her roles in films like Kareeb (1998), Hogi Pyaar Ki Jeet (1999), Fiza (2000), Rahul (2001), Aatma (2006), and Acid Factory (2009), has been a notable presence in the industry. In a recent interview with Zoom, Manoj expressed his eagerness to collaborate with his wife Shabana, provided the script originates externally, eliminating his involvement as a producer. Acknowledging her commitment to her craft, he emphasized her desire for autonomy and respect as an actor. Both equally anticipate her return to the screen, eagerly awaiting the opportunity to work together on a project that marks her comeback in films.
