Manoj Bajpayee on His Equation With Hansal Mehta & Others
About his clash with Hansal Mehta during the ‘Dil Pe Mat Le Yaar’ controversy, Manoj Bajpayee said, “It was a difficult time for all of us. My career was slipping away from me, a career which I got after a lot of hard work. Many other unwanted people got into the project, some because of me, some because of Hansal. Things weren’t right after that. Yes, you feel bad, but I’m not the sort of person who lets arguments affect him. But I felt bad that Hansal had to go through that whole protest.”

“He doesn’t know this, but when that happened, I went into my bathroom and cried. How could this happen to someone like him? His mother used to give me food whenever we would meet, because she thought that I must’ve not eaten. Only a mother can think like that,” Manoj Bajpayee told Siddharth Kannan.
The Silence 2 actor added that he has deep respect for Hansal Mehta, Anurag Kashyap, and Ram Gopal Varma and wishes he could’ve handled things differently back then.
On the work front, Manoj will next be seen in Bhaiyya Ji. Directed by Apoorv Singh Karki, the film is slated to release on May 24, 2024.
