Many people outside the Northeast have outdated ideas about Nagaland. In the latest season of The Family Man, viewers see modern life mixed with tradition, clean towns and villages, beautiful hills and green landscapes and warm hospitality.
Actor Manoj Bajpayee shared, “Nagaland is so amazing that it’s difficult to describe in words. I had never visited this part of the country before, and coming here for The Family Man shoot has been truly enriching. We spent a few weeks filming, and every day gave us wonderful experiences. The people, the food, the culture – everything felt so warm and genuine.”
Nagaland is almost absent in Hindi OTT shows. By filming major portions of the season there, the show brings Nagaland to millions of viewers and reates curiosity and respect.
Manoj went on to reflect on how deeply the place affected him. “It’s been a complete eye-opener. I really want to urge everyone to visit Nagaland at least once in their lifetime. The place feels so pure, untouched and clean — the kind of natural beauty you don’t see very often!
