Actor Manoj Bajpayee, who is currently awaiting the release of his forthcoming film "Aligarh", which talks about gender identity in the society, is spending some quality time with wife Shabana Raza and daughter Ava Nyla.

The actor says for him, spending time with his family is "a festival in itself".
