There should be no regrets
Manoj further said, ‘If an actor does something for money or to run a household, he should not regret it. He should do a film where he feels like he is taking a few steps back to take a leap. This was not something that was out of pity on my part. I needed money to survive in this city. I did what was right. I have never regretted it. I still have those films with great pride.
After watching the movie, the wife got angry

Even Manoj Bajpayee then admitted that once his wife Shabana Raza advised him to ‘not do films for money’ after watching one of his ‘bad films’. Although he did not reveal the name of the film, he said that when his wife went to the theater to watch the film, some girls who followed her made fun of him. This made Shabana feel very bad. He said, ‘It was a bad film. After the film he called me and I asked him how he felt about the film and he said, stop doing films for money. We are not so sad that you do it for the money. It was embarrassing, I felt humiliated in the theatre, please never do that again. You choose good stories and characters, not these movies, you don’t have to prove anything else.
