During the conversation, Manoj recalled the awards ceremony and said, “Ismein bohot badi sachai hai kyunki humlog the waha pe. Aur jab naam announce hua tha toh jitne log the waha pe sab naraaz hogaye the. Log khade ho kar chilla re the ‘Bhiku Mhatre’. (There is a lot of truth in this because we were there. And when the name was announced, many were angry, and people were standing up and shouting ‘Bhiku Mhatre’ (Manoj’s character in Satya)).”
