A few years ago, many people on social media had expressed their disappointment as his performance in the film Aligarh was snubbed at the 64th National Film Awards. In a recent interview with Siddharth Kanan, Manoj Bajpayee said that he didn’t get an award for 3-4 of his earlier performances, post which there was social media outrage. He further said that he thought the National Awards jury was not in the mood to give him an award so he gave up hopes of winning the National Film Award.

Manoj Bajpayee further added that the audience expressed their disappointment on his behalf, and that when they do that, he feels that he doesn’t have to say anything more. He said, “Mujhe lagta hai darshak hi mera kaam kar dete hai. Aur jab woh kar dete hai, then you feel, ‘I don’t have to say anything.’” ALSO READ: Silence Can You Hear It Review: A Tone Deaf Whodunit Starring Manoj Bajpayee And Prachi Desai That Takes Itself Too Seriously
