“He Is Stable One Day, Unstable The Next,”  Manoj Bajpai On His Father’s Health

This week Manoj Bajpai rushed to Delhi to be  by his ailing father  side.

When I  inquired  about  his father’s health Manoj Bajpai said, “The ailments are all related to  old age. He is  stable one day unstable the next. We can only wait and  watch.”

Manoj also spoke  about the final futility  of all ambitions. “Death is  the final truth,  the rest…everything else  is  just  irrelevant.”

As he keeps  a constant  vigil  on his father’s  health  Manoj Bajpai hopes for a  recovery.

In June, Manoj Bajpai had hurriedly  left Mumbai for his  native village Belwa  in the Bettiah district of Bihar to meet his  ailing father..Manoj’s  wife and  daughter had also accompanied him.

Says Manoj, “I  am very close to  both my  parents.They named me  after their favourite actor Manoj  Kumar. My father had to struggle  to put  my siblings and  I  through our basic education.From my childhood  I dreamt  of being an actor. My father supported me in  my dream. That’s how  a boy from  Bettiah with no  connections  in  the  film industry dared to venture into cinema.”
