Manoj Bajpayee is gearing up for his 100th film called Bhaiyaa Ji which releases on May 24. In an interview with Siddharth Kanan, he recalled the times he spent with the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput and how he was affected by the blind items written against him.
Bajpayee revealed, “He was vulnerable in that matter. He was a good man, and good people are often affected, right? At times, he used to come to me and ask, ‘What should I do, sir?’ So I used to tell him, ‘Don’t take it too seriously. I know because I have suffered, I am suffering, I am still suffering.”

The actor added, “He used to be troubled by those blind articles. He was very sensitive and very intelligent. He was a fan of the mutton I used to cook on the set because he was also a Bihari. He also used to say ‘I want to come over to your place and eat mutton’. I also said that ‘the next time I cook it, I will definitely call you’. That was our last conversation. Just after 10 days, he passed away.”
On his death
Like everyone who was close to him or around him, I was very shocked, shattered. I just can’t believe [it], even now. I haven’t been able to come to terms with his death and with Irrfan’s death. It was too early, them going away.
