Actor Manoj Bajpayee claimed that most of the people and relatives had an objection regarding his marriage to a muslim girl Shabana Raza, but it was never an easy task for them to complain about this on the actor face. Manoj Bajpayee revealed that he doesn’t has a good reputation for his temper, and this is the reason why people stop themselves from making such statements.
The actor married with his love Shabana Raza in 2006.
Asked about facing societal or family pressure for marrying Shabana, Manoj exclusively told Barkha Dutt on Mojo Story, “Had there been any, it was not conveyed to me, it was not made obvious to me. I come from a Brahmin family, she comes from a reputed family. But, surprisingly, none of my family members objected to it. Never. (have there been comments on the caste or religion). Till now, never.”
Manoj added that both his wife and him are more spiritual than religious beings. “She’s a proud Muslim, like I’m a proud Hindu, but it doesn’t clash with each other. Because we are more spiritual than religious. Even if they would’ve talk about the religion of my wife, they could not have the strength or the courage to speak to me, on my face. Because they know that I don’t mince my words. I’m very hard when it comes to anyone talking like that. I come very, very hard. I’m a tough guy then.”
