Sanjay Mishra Birthday Special: Being Banarasi is not a word, it is a ritual. This same culture has been deeply ingrained in Sanjay Mishra. Simple physique and face, extraordinary acting in front of the camera makes Sanjay Mishra very different from the artists of his time.
Banaras-based Sanjay Mishra touched heights in his career and did not hesitate to work on the small screen as well. Sanjay Mishra, born on 6 October 1963 in Darbhanga, Bihar, visited many cities with his father.
Shifted to Banaras at the age of nine. This city not only shaped Sanjay Mishraâs career but also introduced him to those qualities of a human being which even today Sanjay Mishra can be found in the âcity of dreamsâ Mumbai. When they get bored, they also take âstrange decisionsâ. But, letâs talk about it later.
Sanjay Mishra is no less than a philosopher
Sanjay Mishra is going to show his charm on the big screen again on the occasion of Diwali. Sanjay Mishra will be seen in an important role in Kartik Aryan-Vidya Balan starrer âBhool Bhulaiyaa 3â. However, it is impossible to understand them only through films.
Getting into a character is acting, he has mastered it. But, his words, outlook on life and journey of self-discovery are no less than that of a philosopher. Sanjay Mishraâs eyes search for something on the silver screen. Perhaps, she says that if you find out about her then whisper it softly in her ear.
Sanjay Mishra saw a long period. In 1991, he did an acting course from the National School of Drama and started his journey of becoming a big name in the âcity of dreamsâ Mumbai.
Long journey to make name âSanjay Mishraâ
The small screen became helpful in the beginning of his career. Then, he appeared in films like âDil Seâ, âBunty Aur Babliâ, âApna Sapna Money Moneyâ, âAankhon Dekhiâ, âMiss Tanakpur Hazir Hoâ, âPrem Ratan Dhan Payoâ, âMeeruthiya Gangstersâ.
He received a lot of applause for âAankhon Dekhiâ. Also received âFilmfare Best Actor Criticsâ award. But, the journey of self-discovery continued.
Sanjay Mishra, devastated by his fatherâs demise, turned his back on acting and started working at a dhaba. Call it the magic of fate or his passion for fine-acting in Bollywood, he once again made a comeback and became the star of the silver screen.
If you want to understand Sanjay Mishra then watch the film âMasaanâ. Shooting of the film in the backdrop of Banaras, different story and dialogues, the charm or rather the soul of this film, is through Sanjay Mishra. A father, who looks helpless and makes many sacrifices for his daughter, bearing the shame of the people, peels off those layers of life and portrays them on the screen in the form of acting, it is unbelievable.
Sanjay Mishra is searching for himself in a busy city like Mumbai. Trying to understand myself. Want to understand the relationship between one human being and another.
Despite being in Mayanagari, Sanjay Mishra is away from illusion
Engaged in solving human relationships and the needs, challenges and complications involved in them. Somewhere Sanjay Mishra got tired of this journey and freed himself from the allurement of Mumbai, the âcity of dreamsâ where he had worked hard to become a big name.
A few days ago news came that Sanjay Mishra has made a new place in Lonavala, about 140 kilometers away from Mumbai. If it is a small house like a cottage, there is also a provision for growing vegetables. When he is not shooting, he gets absorbed in his own world.
This world is an attempt to connect ourselves with Banaras somewhere and also a desire to meet the typical rural person within us. Sanjay Mishra wants to play sitar. Looking for an opportunity to shake the strings and weave âSaregamaâ into the musical tunes.
Sanjay Mishra is like a philosopher or guide for todayâs artists and youth. He teaches the journey of self-discovery. He advises one to remain engaged in the struggle to keep oneâs inner village alive amidst all the glitz.
Apart from films, Sanjay Mishra has learned the art of living âno filter lifeâ in every color, every form, every situation of life and is moving on the path of becoming a âperfectionistâ. Perhaps, he wants to say, âNache hoke firki lattu, khoje apni dhuri re, man kasturi re, jag dasturi re, baat hui na puri reâŚ.â
