Manoj Bajpayee Clears Allegations Of His Character Spoiling Veer And Zaara's Love Story
Manoj Bajpayee had a guest appearance in the cult-classic Veer Zaara. He essayed the role of Zaara's to-be husband, Raza. In the exclusive Pinkvilla Masterclass with Himesh Mankad, the celebrated actor shared how he dealt with allegations like that of his character destroying the love story of Veer Zaara.
Talking about a lady who came up to him and told him about how his character destroyed Veer and Zaara's life, Bajpayee said, "A lady came up to me and said, 'You did such a negative thing. You destroyed Veer and Zaara's life. I said, 'Wow. You are not looking from the man's (Raza in Veer Zaara) perspective. He is engaged. His to-be wife is going around with another man. And you are hating me? This is great morality! These are great ethics!'"

He continued, "I was doing it considering that my to-be wife is engaging in an extramarital. How would one tolerate? Would a lady tolerate if her man engages in an extramarital? If not, why would the man have a problem too?"
Manoj Bajpayee Says That For Him, Shah Rukh Khan Was The Villain Of Veer Zaara
"When I am given a role, I think from the character's perspective. Then I will be able to make it believable. That's how my thought process was while approaching the role. For me, Shah Rukh was the villain (laughs). For Raza, Shah Rukh was a bad man. Since Raza was powerful, he could trap them. If he was not powerful, he would commit suicide somewhere, right? Or he would spend the rest of his life as 'Devdas'. A man does whatever he can, in his own limits (laughs)."
Bajpayee Says That Audiences Are Biased Towards Heroes
When interviewer Himesh said that he never looked from this perspective, Manoj Bajpayee said, "This is because we are biased towards the heroes (laughs)."
