Manoj Bajpayee is one of the most talented and versatile actors of the film industry. The 55-year-old actor has carved a special place for himself in the minds of countless cinephiles, with his path-breaking roles and performances. Manoj grabbed massive stardom by some of his iconic films, such as Pinjar, Satya, Veer Zaara, Shool, Raajneeti, Gangs Of Wasseypur, The Family Man and countless others. In a recent interaction, Manoj discussed some of his candid interactions with one of his most-talented co-actors.
In a recent conversation with Siddharth Kannan, Manoj Bajpayee remembered distinct memories with his Sonchiriya-co-star and late actor, Sushant Singh Rajput. He recalled how the latter would rush to him for guidance and advice, when it came to dealing with negative blinds and news articles being written about the latter. Manoj remarked how Sushant was quite vulnerable to all the nasty stuff that occasionally was written about him. He added:
“Sushant was very vulnerable when it came to blind articles. He was a very good human being and it is only a good person who can get affected by these things. He would often come to me and ask how to deal with these things, I used to tell him not to take these things seriously because I have gone through such situations before, and I am still bearing the brunt of such articles against me.”

Speaking along the same lines, Manoj Bajpayee then went onto reveal how he asked Sushant Singh Rajput to always treat the influential people in the film industry differently than the rest. He even shared his own example and narrated how he himself bifurcates between people in power and those who aren’t. Recalling how Sushant would innocently react to such piece of advice, Manoj expressed:
“I told him to handle people whose films are working, who are in power. I would handle such people in a different way. I would tell my friends to convey to them that I would come and beat them up. What’s important is that the message is conveyed. Sushant used to laugh and would say, ‘Sir aap he kar sakte ho, main nahi kar sakta yeh. But he was troubled by blind articles. He was a very sensitive and intelligent person.”
In an earlier interaction with Raj Shamani, Manoj Bajpayee candidly confessed how much he tends to feel lost while attending big and lavish parties in the film industry. He claimed that such gatherings are unnecessarily planned to be massive without any definite purpose. Furthermore, Manoj added that he tends to find it difficult to communicate and connect with people in such parties.

Previously, while speaking with Curly Tales, Manoj Bajpayee delved onto the topic of retirement and what he wishes to do after it. The actor, who still has a long career before him, remarked that he primarily wished to quit the hustle and bustle of city life, and instead settle down somewhere more serene and quieter. In his words:
“I want to move to the mountains. I have already taken a place somewhere. I want to make a small house somewhere, no mansion for me. I don't want to spend my old age here. Mumbai will be a city for my daughter and not me.”
