Talking to Humans of Bombay, Maniesh recalled the embarrassing yet amusing incident when asked about a funny anecdote with a celebrity. He recalled the time when he had just started hosting film award shows.
It happened so when Akshay Kumar was stepping down the stage and Maniesh asked him, “Akshay sir ek dialogue to bol dijiye (at least say a dialogue).” “He turned back and said chup kar (shut up) in a stern tone. I started sweating at this. My mother had also come for the first time to see my show. I was so embarrassed that beizzati hogayi (I’ve been insulted),” he added.
The actor and host shared that he knew that either it was the end of his career or the beginning. He decided to follow Akshay to his seat despite the director telling him not to do it. ALSO READ | Filmfare Awards 2021: Maniesh Paul Adds Zing And Life To The Ceremony With His Entertaining Hosting

The actor added that at the end of their conversation, Akshay congratulated him for his humour and even told him that he had fun with Maniesh.
On the professional front, Maniesh Paul was last seen in Rafuchakkar, which was released on JioCinema. His last theatrical outing was JugJugg Jeeyo.
