Manoj Bajpayee: Don’t ask actors about things not related to them
New Delhi: Bollywood celebrities are requested for his or her opinions on nearly the whole lot lately, National Award-winning actor Manoj Bajpayee notes. How is it doable to provide a passable reply on one thing he isn’t associated to or well-versed about, he wonders.
“If you say we are only actors, on Twitter you troll us by saying that (since) we are actors you want our opinions on things that we are not so good about. Yes, we are only actors and to talk about economy, to talk about something I don’t have an idea or about the Indo-China border tension? How am I supposed to answer and satisfy your questions?” Manoj instructed IANS, deliberating with reference to movie celebrities having to deal with all kinds of questions lately, on media and social media.
Manoj is again within the limelight rapping a quantity titled “Bambai Main Ka Ba”, which highlights the plight of migrant employees, and he would moderately concentrate on answering questions on his music proper now.
“So, calling for a byte and harassing actors is something you should not do. Let them (actors) be and let them do their job. Pull them up if they are doing anything illegal, pull them up if they are taking the citizens or the country for granted, or society for granted. Ask for answers but don’t ask them something that is not related to them,” he mentioned.
But then, being an actor comes with baggage, is not it? How does Manoj take care of it? “I am not so much concerned or care about glamour and fan following. I concentrate on my job and I just go home. I do things with loads of freedom — going to the grocery store or stopping at a vegetable vendor. I can do it because I really don’t care,” he mentioned.
“I am very much concerned with my growth as an actor and as a human being. Rest of the things don’t affect me. I don’t care about (other things). At times people tell me that, ‘Manoj, you have a million followers on Twitter, you should say thank you’. Friends let me know if I have reached one million or two million on Instagram, and (tell me) I should thank people. I do it,” the actor added.
He mentioned that it doesn’t even happen to him that “these things are so much important.”
“If I am posting something I post it clearly because of professional reasons mostly, and some for very personal reasons. Otherwise, there is no mental or emotional compulsion to be on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook at all,” Manoj summed up.
