Manoj Bajpayee, recently seen in the ZEE5 film *Despatch*, has shared his thoughts about the challenges faced by crime journalists. During a discussion with actual crime reporters, he delved into their daily struggles and conflicts.
He pointed out how journalists deal with intense personal conflicts stemming from greed, fear, and family responsibilities. Bajpayee emphasized that, while everyone deals with these emotions, the challenges for journalists are on another level.
Speaking about his role as a crime reporter in the film, Bajpayee admitted he gained a fresh perspective. He realized that beyond doing the job, the constant risk of personal safety is a huge burden to carry.
The actor was vocal about his admiration, saying, “I salute all the reporters.” He stressed the importance of discussing these issues to shed light on the mental and physical toll of the profession.
His words sparked a broader conversation about the risks journalists take to bring stories to the public. It’s a profession where commitment often comes at a significant cost, and Bajpayee’s sentiments highlight the need for recognition.
With *Despatch*, Bajpayee hopes to spotlight the underappreciated and risky lives reporters lead, something many viewers may not fully grasp.
