Manoj Bajpayee intentionally failed his MBBS exam and faked UPSC preparation to convince his parents to let him become an actor. The actor has won three National Film Awards and has now become one of the highest-paid actors on OTT.
Manoj Bajpayee said that nobody has the strength or courage to question his interfaith marriage with Shabana Raza, who acted in a few Hindi films under the screen name Neha.
Manoj and Dhanush were conferred with the Best Actor Award for their films Bhonsle and Asuran respectively at the 67th National Film Awards. Rajinikanth was also conferred with the Dadasaheb Phalke Award for his remarkable contribution to cinema.
