Manoj Bajpai is an extraordinary actor and he proved the same in his last film Bhonsle. He has always been an extraordinary star and in his recent interview, he expressed how Sushant Singh Rajput’s death rattled the entire film industry and how it is unfair to paint the whole industry with the same brush.

In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, he said, “Sushant’s death rattled all of us. I don’t know anyone who was not shaken by his sudden going. And what transpired after Sushant’s death became a correctional process for the industry. But some months later the debate was subverted. Vested interests came in and the whole thing became very ugly. To paint the whole film industry with the same brush was so unfair and so demeaning. People with their agendas made the whole debate so ugly. That’s when I moved away from the debate. But one thing is there. The ugliness will be forgotten.”

On how the toxicity of social media grows on people, he said, “It will continue. People are empowered with access to Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc. They always had an opinion but didn’t know how and where to vent it. Now, they have a platform. They can abuse, insult or compliment. It’s their choice.We just have to live with it. I hardly use social media. I go to it when I have a film to promote and then I disappear. I won’t give 14-15 hours to it. I’ve work and family. That’s my life. Not social media. Being left out is the feeling that gets us sucked into it? We’ve to overcome it.”

However, Manoj Bajpai has been shooting back to back for his upcoming projects and we will see a lot of him in the year 2021.
