Katrina Kaif touched Manoj Bajpayee’s feet on Rajneeti sets, actor says ‘meri mitti paleed kar di’

Recalling the incident during his latest appearance on Rajat Sharma’s Aap Ki Adalat, Bajpayee said, “Katrina ne toh mitti paleed kar di (she just left me embarrassed). She touched my feet in front of the entire media. It was her way of showing respect towards me after watching Rajneeti. She was so overwhelmed. We were working together (in the movie) but didn’t have any scenes together. She felt, ‘Though I was there only, I never realised that this man is performing like this in the movie.’ So, she felt very glad.”

Bajpayee had a similar experience after the release of Satya in 1998. At that time, it was Tabu who couldn’t stop herself from touching the feet of Bajpayee as a gesture of appreciation. “Tabu watched Satya and she came on the set. In front of everyone, she touched my feet. It was her way to appreciate me,” shared Bajpayee.

However, both incidents left The Family Man actor ’embarrassed’. He said, “I felt a little embarrassed that such a beautiful heroine is touching my feet. You feel too old.” Currently, Manoj Bajpayee is looking forward to the release of his ZEE5 film Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai. It will start streaming on May 23.
