Manoj Bajpayee BLASTS the naysayers who doubt the IQ of Actors

Lashing out at people who question any actor’s IQ, Manoj Bajpayee said, “Whoever says that we (actors) do not have a good IQ needs to come and sit with me and have a chat with me on any aspect of this country, about any part of this country or any constituency where he is fighting from or where he fought from, where he is elected from. I know about the problem of that constituency better than that person.” Continuing his point Bajpayee went on to add, “Secondly I am an actor, but that does not mean that I am a person who is not interested in reading. We are all very well-read people. We have studied, we have finished our education, and we have achieved some kind of a skill that is called acting. And that has become our profession. So that does not mean that we don’t know anything. If you don’t agree with this, you don’t have the right to say dismissive things or demeaning things about us.”

On the work front, post his outing in Satyameva Jayate, Manoj Bajpayye will next be seen in Love Sonia, followed by the film Sonchiriya.
