Manoj Bajpayee will soon be seen in the second season of The Family Man which will stream on Amazon Prime Video. His role of Shrikant Tiwari has become one of Indian digital space’s favourite characters. However, there is something that Manoj doesn’t relate to with Shrikant and opened up about the same in a recent interview. Manoj opened up about Shrikant’s ‘colourful language’ in the show and revealed that one particular swear word even shocked him.

In the trailer of the show, Shrikant and his wife Suchitra (played by Priyamani) are seen at a couple’s therapy session. Tired of others using metaphors for his situation, he too, starts using Bollywood dialogues and ends up with some choicest swear words that had to be beeped out. Speaking in the interview about the scene, Manoj said that the level of swearing is not something that he is used to in real life.

Manoj said, “Woh jo jeeta wahi sikander, uske baad joh gaali aati hai, woh zindagi mein kabhi use nahi kiya and woh gaali sach mein itni gandi lagti rahi ki pata nahi kaise muh se mere woh organically nikla, because Shrikant Tiwari ke character mein aap hotein hai pure samay – organically nikli then (The swear words I say after 'jo jeeta wahi sikander', I have never used them in my life. It is such an ugly swear word I don't know how it came so organically to me. Because I was in Shrikant Tiwari's character the whole time, it just came organically). I suddenly held my head, and I said ‘ki sh*t yaar yeh loge yahi rakhenge, yahi rakho iske alawa kuch nahi rakhna hai (These people will use it. Just this and nothing else).”

However, despite Manoj’s hesitance at the dialogues, directors Raj and DK went ahead with the swear words. Manoj explained further and said, “Exactly this has happened, I spoke to Raj and DK, they said ‘no no it is looking good, it's superb’, then started jumping ‘no no don't change this abuse, this is fantastic this goes with Shrikant more'. I have never you know used that abuse at all in my life and I will not repeat it because social media is a very evil platform, you know it can come back to bite me all over again.”

The Family Man Season 2 also stars Samantha Akkineni and Sharib Hashmi. It will premiere on Amazon Prime Video on June 4.
