Bollywood actor Manoj Bajpayee is currently one of the most-bankable celebrities in the entertainment industry. Over the years, he has made a name for himself as a versatile performer. Having started his journey with movies like Satya, Bandit Queen, Aligarh, Rajneeti and many more, he cemented himself as an artist who focused on the content he was a part of rather than just starring in movies to make money. He has now reacted to reports claiming that he has a net worth of rs 170 crores.
During his recent interview with Hindustan Times, he was asked if he truly had a net worth of Rs 170 crores. Expressing his genuine shock, dismissed the claims by laughing it off. The 54-year-old actor revealed given his filmography it is impossible to make that kind of money. He went on to share that he is still struggling to make enough money. He hopes that after reading the reports, filmmakers would increase his salary so that he can take off to a faraway place. ALSO READ: WHAT! Manoj Bajpayee Was JEALOUS Of Irrfan Khan?

I am still struggling to get some money into my kitty...Now, after reading these reports, I just hope that the producers will now raise my salary. And then I think to myself, ‘Kaash aish ho jaata’… At least, I could then just take off to some faraway place and be easy in life.” ALSO READ: Manoj Bajpayee's 'Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai' In LEGAL Trouble; Advocate Who Inspired Film Claims 'No NOC Was Collected From Me'-REPORTS
