For Vedant Sinha, returning to The Family Man 3 is more than just stepping into a character it’s going back to the place that shaped him as an actor. And at the heart of that growth is his bond with Manoj Bajpayee. “Manoj sir has been my acting school,” Vedant says, calling the veteran actor his greatest influence.
Vedant Sinha`s bond with Manoj Bajpayee
Vedant recalls that he was very young when he first met Manoj Bajpayee, and at that time, he didn’t fully grasp the privilege of working with someone of such calibre. Over the years, however, he realised how deeply Manoj influenced his craft. “He never sits me down to teach, but I keep learning by just watching him,” Vedant shares. “His patience, his respect for every person on set, his commitment it inspires me every day.”
Talking about Season 3, Vedant reveals that the emotional depth and intensity required him to level up as an actor. He often looked to Manoj for guidance, not through words, but through observation. “The way he gets into character, the way he listens between the lines… these little things teach you more than any workshop,” he says.
The actor also opens up about their off-camera bond. He describes Manoj Bajpayee as a mentor who encourages him to trust his instincts. “Whenever I’m confused about how to approach a scene, he tells me to be honest and natural. That advice has stayed with me.”
Vedant reflects on his growth in three seasons
Reflecting on the long journey through three seasons, Vedant acknowledges how much he has evolved. “I joined the show as a kid who just loved being on set,” he says. “Today, I understand storytelling, character arcs, and emotions. Most of that learning is because of Manoj sir.”
He is also thrilled about how fans have embraced the Tiwari family dynamic. “People say they see glimpses of their own home in our scenes. That’s the biggest compliment.”
As The Family Man 3 continues to create excitement, Vedant promises that his growth both as an artist and as Atharv will shine through. “This season pushed me, challenged me, and made me better,” he concludes.
