Bollywood’s versatile actor Manoj Bajpayee has gained a huge fan base, over the years, with his exceptional acting chops. Having gained success in the Hindi film industry, he often leaves his fans impressed with his down-to-earth and calm personality. Never the one to shy away from talking about his experiences, he had once reacted to reports claiming that his net worth was Rs 170 crore. Let's revisit his humorous reaction on the occasion of his 55th birthday.
In an old interview with Aaj Tak, Manoj was asked about his net worth. Shocked that reports claimed it was around Rs 170 crores, he dismissed them. He expressed how he could have such a high net worth after doing films like Aligarh and Gali Guleiyan. The 55-year-old added that he earns enough to secure a comfortable old age life for himself and his wife as well as a future for his daughter.

Quoted by Pinkvilla, The Family Man actor said, “Baap re baap! Aligarh aur Gali Guleiyan karke? Bilkul nahi hai par haan itna zaroor hai bhagwan ki daya se ki mera aur meri patni ka budhapa ache se guzar jayega aur meri beti set ho jayegi.” ALSO READ: Secrets Of The Buddha Relics: Manoj Bajpayee, Shital Bhatia, Raghav Jairath's Collaboration Becomes A HIT!- DEETS INSIDE
Bajpayee went on to express how he isn’t from South Mumbai or even from Bandra. He still lives in Andheri, Lokhandwala. While he is not entirely a part of the main Hindi film industry, he has chosen to sit on the boundary of the industry. He said, “Main south Mumbai ka nahi hoon, na Bandra ka hoon. Main abhi bhi Lokhandwala, Andheri mein rehta hun. Main hamesha kehta hoon ke main cinema, iss film industry ke beech mein nahi hun. Maine ye choose kiya tha ki main film industry ki boundary pe baitha hun. Ye mera chunav raha hai.”
On the work front, Manoj Bajpayee recently completed 30 years in Bollywood. He was last seen in Silence 2. He will be next seen in Bhaiyya Ji, which is his 100th film. The actor has Raj and DK’s web-series The Family Man in his pipeline.
