Manoj Bajpayee’s father RK Bajpayee passed away on Sunday morning. He was 83 years old. Manoj’s father’s condition was very critical since the past few days. Last month, Manoj’s father had been hospitalised in Delhi due to his frail health and the ‘Satya’ actor had stopped the shoot of his next to be with him. Manoj was in Keral shooting for his upcoming venture but rushed to Delhi to take care of his ailing father.
In an earlier interview, Manoj had shared how his father had pushed him to complete his education before pursing his dream of acting. “I came from my village in Bihar to Delhi at the age of 18. I joined Delhi University. Finishing my graduation was my father’s dream. He did not want me to leave studies. So I really wanted to fulfill his dream and somehow managed to complete the course and take a degree,” Manoj had told ANI.
In previous interviews, the 52-year-old actor has often spoken about his close bond with his parents. He had shared that his parents had named him after their favourite actor Manoj Kumar. Manoj Bajpayee had also credited his father for supporting his dream of being an actor.
