When he asked me about how the film Pathaan has fared at the box officeI told the actor who I have known for the last 45 years on a personal level that it does not even boast of a tangible story, he laughed it off and stated that what matters is whether a film sets out to entertain and not whether it has a story or not and went on to to say that though Gulab Jamun is a sweet, it does not contain gulab in it.

Manojsaab added that he had stopped watching new Hindi films for the last 12 years and the last film that he had watched was 3 Idiots. "These days , I am only watching old Hindi films in Black & White. That is my only form of entertainment as I am not feeling well with my back not supporting me 24 hours"
