Manoj Bajpayee on Ghooskhor Pandat row: I don’t have energy and time to argue with people

“But I must tell you that when the threats were coming to me, I was also travelling continuously without any fear. When people are trolling you, abusing you and getting your family into the whole thing, I feel empathy for them,” he added.

Manoj criticised the tendency of social media users to form opinions without understanding the actual plot or context of the film.

“The film talks about something else. But I think on social media now people are impatient and they are eager and desperate to come out with their opinion without even knowing fully about the subject matter,” he said.

Manoj said he prefers to ignore such reactions and does not believe in responding to people who are quick to draw conclusions.

“I’m a person who is very curious for knowledge, I’m a well-educated person, and I don’t have any intention, I don’t have that energy and time to argue with people, who are that impatient with their opinion or who are not even bothering to educate themselves,” he said.

“So, why to argue with them? Don’t get into the mud with the people who like to roll you into the mud,” he concluded.

Manoj is currently awaiting the release of his new film Governor: The Silent Saviour.

Directed by Chinmay Mandlekar and produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah, the film will make its debut in theatres on June 12.
