Comedian Sunil Pal recently hit the headlines hurling insults at actor Manoj Bajpayee by referring to him as a ‘gira hua aadmi’ in a video that went viral on social media. He even called Manoj ‘badtameez’ and compared blockbuster web series The Family Man to ‘porn’.
“Manoj Bajpayee kitna hi bada actor hoga, kitne hi bade awards mile, par usse zyada badtameez aur gira hua aadmi maine nahi dekha (Although Manoj Bajpayee is a big and how many ever prestigious awards he has won, I have never seen a more ill-mannered and immoral man),” he can be heard saying in the viral video.
And now Bajpayee has reacted on the same, while talking to Hindustan Times, Manoj suggested that the comedian should take up meditation to deal with joblessness. “I understand people don’t have jobs. I completely understand. I have been in this situation. But in these kinds of situations, people should meditate,"the website quoted the actor.
This is not the first time when Sunil Pal is hitting the headlines for wrong reasons, earlier in May when the country was battling with the second wave of coronavirus, Sunil faced heavy criticism on social media for using derogatory remarks against doctors.
Andheri police registered FIR against Sunil on the complaint filed by Dr Sushmita Bhatnagar, president of the Association of Medical Consultants (Mumbai), after going through the alleged video that was first noticed by chairman Dr Sudhir Naik on April 20. In his controversial video, Sunil referred to doctors as ‘thieves’ dressed in ‘demon suit’. However he later apologised for his comment.
