I Fell Unconscious: Manoj Bajpayee Says He Drank A Lot On His First Foreign Flight
Manoj Bajpayee stated that Paris was his first-ever international visit.
New Delhi: During his first international trip, actor Manoj Bajpayee became a touch overexcited. The actor stated that Paris, where he had gone as a participant in an exchange programme, was his first-ever international visit and told a humorous tale of what transpired when he was handed alcohol on the flight.
In a conversation with Curly Tales, Bajpayee talked openly about his vacation to Paris. The actor stated that he drank until he was completely wasted because he was so startled to find that booze is given on flights for free.
“When I was doing theatre, I had gone to Paris, that was my first international trip. While on the flight, I didn’t take alcohol at all, because I thought they would charge me for it and I didn’t have money! Because of theater I was going there as part of an exchange program So after going there I found out that they serve it for free. While coming back, I drank so much that I fell unconscious! I drank so much!” Bajpayee said.
Bajpayee also said that his trip to Paris was enlightening since he learned new things, such as how to eat with chopsticks.
“When I went to Paris, I had gone to a party where these (chopsticks) were there and people were eating with it, comfortably. I tried it. Everytime I would hold it, the food would fall down. A very dignified lady came from the other side of the table, picked up the fork, and she said, ‘You can use this also. Don’t worry, this needs practice.’
“I was so scared of this (chopsticks) that until recently I never used it. My daughter started saying, ‘Use this’, because she felt bad that uska baap chopsticks se khaa nahi pa raha hai (that her father is unable to eat using chopsticks). She taught me to practice it, now I can manage it,” he added.
On the work front, Manoj Bajpayee was last seen in the Disney+ Hotstar drama 'Gulmohar'.
