In 2007 Manoj was travelling to his village in Bihar. The state of the roads being what it is, his car plunged into a ditch. His back took the entire impact. Manoj couldn't move his hand. For eight months he was in bed.
Says Manoj, “I am very close to both my parents.They named me after their favourite actor Manoj Kumar. My father had to struggle to put my siblings and I through our basic education. From my childhood I dreamt of being an actor. My father supported me in my dream. That’s how a boy from Bettiah with no connections in the film industry dared to venture into cinema.”
Though Manoj’s father (Radhakant Bajpai) likes Manoj’s performance in all his films, the senior Bajapai’s favourites are Satya, Shool, Pinjar, 1971 and yes, The Family Man.
