Manoj stated: "So, rejection never defines you. Failure never defines you, similarly, success doesn't define you. Manoj Bajpayee, jo actor hai, wo tees saal pehle bhi tha, aur aaj bhi wahi actor hai (Manoj Bajpayee, as an actor, is the same 30 years ago, and even now). I was not a bad actor even when I failed. “

“According to the market and commercial aspects, I was a failure. But, the work I was doing, in my perspective, wasn't a failure. I just knew one thing - I'll get a chance and make a comeback."

His reply won the internet. Netizens on social media couldn’t resist praising the simplicity of the actor. One of them wrote: “He is gem.” Another fan wrote: “Kya baat kahi! Bahut badi aur sachchi baat kahi.”
