Pankaj Tripathi Gets Teary-eyed; Reveals He Stole Manoj Bajpayee's Slippers From A 5-star Hotel
Recently, Pankaj Tripathi and Manoj Bajpayee graced The Kapil Sharma Show. On the show, Pankaj talked about his fan boy moment with Manoj during his struggling days and got teary-eyed.
Pankaj
Tripathi
is
one
of
the
finest
actors
in
the
industry.
The
actor
will
be
seen
gracing
The
Kapil
Sharma
Show,
this
weekend,
along
with
another
amazing
actor,
Manoj
Bajpayee.
The
channel
shared
a
promo,
in
which,
the
Sacred
Games
actor
got
teary-eyed
as
he
narrated
an
incident
about
stealing
Manoj's
slippers
from
a
five-star
hotel.
Manoj
revealed
that
Pankaj
had
told
him
the
story
(how
Pankaj
stole
his
slippers
during
struggling
days)
when
they
were
working
together
on
the
film
Gangs
of
Wasseypur.
Pankaj
then
interrupts
and
narrates
the
incident.
Pankaj
was
seen
telling,
"I
was
a
kitchen
supervisor
and
I
received
a
call
saying
Manoj
Bajpai
ji
is
in
the
hotel.
I
used
to
do
theatre
back
then,
so
the
kitchen
staff
knew
my
inclination
towards
cinema.
I
had
clearly
instructed
the
room
service
people
that
if
they
get
any
order
from
Manoj
ji's
room,
inform
me
directly."
"So
I
went
there,
met
bhaiyya,
told
him
'Pranaam,
and
shared
even
I
am
into
theatre',
and
touched
his
feet.
Next
day
morning,
he
checked
out
and
left
for
the
airport.
But
he
left
a
hawai
chappal
(slippers)
behind.
The
housekeeping
people
said
that
'Are!
Tumhare
Manoj
Bajpayee
ji
gaye
hain,
chappal
chod
diye
hain
yehi
pe'.
I
told
them
bhai,
don't
submit
it,
give
it
to
me."
Explaining
the
reason
behind
it,
Pankaj
said,
"Kyon?
...
Eklavya
ki
tarah
agar
main
inke
khadau
mein
apna
paer
daal
lu
(Why?
...
If
like
Eklavya,
I,
too,
could
put
my
feet
in
his
slipper)."
As
Pankaj
narrated
the
story,
he
got
emotional
and
teary-eyed.
Manoj
immediately
got
up
and
hugged
up;
the
entire
team
gave
a
standing
ovation
to
the
actors.
Little
did
veteran
actor
Manoj
Bajpayee
know
that
Pankaj
Tripathi
who
then
was
a
theatre
artist
used
to
worship
him
as
his
Guru.
Watch
the
method
actors
share
some
wonderful
moments
