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 Mishra’s career but also introduced him to those qualities of a human being which even today Sanjay Mishra can be found in the ‘city of dreams’ Mumbai. When they get bored, they also take ‘strange decisions’. But, let’s 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 ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’. 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 Mishra’s 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 ‘city of dreams’ Mumbai.
Long journey to make name ‘Sanjay Mishra’
The small screen became helpful in the beginning of his career. Then, he appeared in films like ‘Dil Se’, ‘Bunty Aur Babli’, ‘Apna Sapna Money Money’, ‘Aankhon Dekhi’, ‘Miss Tanakpur Hazir Ho’, ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’, ‘Meeruthiya Gangsters’.
He received a lot of applause for ‘Aankhon Dekhi’. Also received ‘Filmfare Best Actor Critics’ award. But, the journey of self-discovery continued.
Sanjay Mishra, devastated by his father’s 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 ‘Masaan’. 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 person 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 ‘city of dreams’ where he 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 ‘Saregama’ into the musical tunes.
Sanjay Mishra is like a philosopher or guide for today’s artists and youth. He teaches the journey of self-discovery. He advises one to remain engaged in the struggle to keep one’s inner village alive amidst all the glitz.
Apart from films, Sanjay Mishra has learned the art of living ‘no filter life’ in every color, every form, every situation of life and is moving on the path of becoming a ‘perfectionist’. Perhaps, he wants to say, “Nache hoke firki lattu, khoje apni dhuri re, man kasturi re, jag dasturi re, baat hui na puri re….”
