Asked about his experience of working with child actors, Bajpayee said, “I do not look at a child actor or junior actor as any less than the other co-actors. They are also artistes. So, it is easy for me to work with children. These youngsters were very sincere and I enjoyed working with them.”
When can we expect Season 3 of The Family Man? “I think we still have time for that because only the writing of the script has begun. We have a lot to work to do before we come up with the new season of the show. So, say, a year from now, yes, that much time we need to make Season 3. As it happens, we’ll surely share the news with our audience.”
