The actor added, “He was not only a father, but also everything for me. He was somebody who always believed in me, blindly, knowing nothing about what I wanted to do. I miss him. But old age is something that you can’t do anything about. But I know that wherever he is, he is very happy.”

Opening up about the time after his father’s demise, he continued, “One felt completely devasted. But somewhere I knew that it was better he was gone, because he was in too much pain.”

Talking about his father further, Bajpayee said, “My father took great pride in each and every small thing or big thing I have achieved in life. He was very excited to accompany me, with my wife when I was going to receive Padma Shri. At that time my mother was being operated upon, so she could not come. But, my father was somebody who was always the biggest cheerleader of Manoj Bajpayee.”
