Bajpayee spoke about his bond with Rajput
The duo worked together in Sonchiriya and hailing from Bihar, they connected well, especially on food.

He stated, "It gets dirtier as you climb the ladder of success." He emphasized that Rajput also spoke to him about the challenges faced by him.
Bajpayee's take on nepotism
Bajpayee also spoke about the ongoing debate on nepotism in Bollywood. He said, "I must thus add that you cannot make this an excuse all the time. Don't waste your energy. Do theater, if you are a good actor, you can even earn money by performing on the street." This June 14 will mark the third death anniversary of Rajput.
