She didn't recognise the fact that I'm in series: Manoj Bajpayee on his daughter's hilarious reaction to 'The Family Man'

Manoj Bajpayee shares hilarious story of his daughter Ava Nayla not recognizing him in The Family Man but getting excited to see co-star Sharif Hashmi.

"She didn't recognise the fact that I'm in the Family Man. - Manoj Bajpayee"

Mumbai, November 7

Actor Manoj Bjapayee shared the hilarious reaction of his daughter Ava Nayla after she watched the first season of 'The Family Man'.

During the press conference at the trailer launch of 'The Family Man 3', Manoj Bajpayee shared a humorous anecdote about his daughter, describing how innocent and unassuming children can be.

While talking to the media, he said, "She's a big, big fan of Family Man, and she's a big fan of Sharif Hashmi (co-actor) more than me. After she watched the first season, I asked her 'did you like it'. She said, 'Yeah, it's good' and then she didn't say anything. I mean, she didn't recognise the fact that I'm in the Family Man."

It was accompanied by a funny and adorable twist when Manoj's daughter spotted Sharif Hashmi outside her house.

Manoj continued, "And then, right after one day of watching the 'Family Man', she shouted and screamed one day. She said, papa, papa, come here. And I ran towards the gate. That's where she was standing. She said, JK (Sharif Hashmi character name in The Family Man) is here, papa. JK is here."

Directed by Raj & DK, the third instalment of the high-stakes spy action-thriller series marks the return of the iconic spy, Srikant Tiwari, played by Manoj Bajpayee, who is on the run along with his family after he was labelled as the "most wanted man" in the country.

The trailer opens with Manoj Bajpayee revealing the truth about his professional identity to his son Vedant Sinha.

In a surprising turn of events, Bajpayee is labelled as a suspect in the case and has been deemed an "officially wanted criminal" in the country.

The third Season introduces new adversaries in the form of Jaideep Ahlawat, who plays the role of a drug smuggler in the North East.

Nimrat Kaur also plays a prominent role in the series.

Torn between duty, emotions, and responsibilities, Srikant is racing against time, as he must protect not only himself and his family but also the nation from an imminent threat.

The series is set to stream from November 21 on Amazon Prime Video.

Manoj Bajpayee is such a humble actor despite being a superstar. Love how he shares these personal stories. The Family Man is one of the best Indian web series ever made! 🇮🇳

As an expat living in Delhi, I find these family moments so relatable. Indian parenting has such beautiful dynamics. The trailer looks intense though - hope they maintain the quality of previous seasons.

Sharif Hashmi as JK is indeed amazing, but I hope the article focused more on the series' plot rather than just this anecdote. Still, excited for November 21! 🎬

Children see the world so differently! My nephew thinks his father is a superhero when he wears his office uniform. Manoj sir's daughter recognizing JK instead of him is priceless 😄
