Manoj Bajpayee has been promoting his upcoming film Silence from home. The actor has recently tested positive for COVID-19 and is currently quarantined at home with his wife Neha and their daughter Ava Nayla has been asked to stay a few rooms away from them. Being a thorough professional, Manoj Bajpayee has had shoot dates back-to-back. He was busy shooting for his next project Despatch by Kanu Behl when he contracted the virus.
The director Kanu Behl had also been diagnosed with COVID-19 a few days ago and the shoot had to be stopped immediately once the news broke out. Manoj Bajpayee says his first priority was his daughter’s safety and he is frustrated to be away from her despite being in the same house. The actor says he has been following the protocols to the T and is not happy about the fact that he contracted the virus not because of his fault but due to someone else’s carelessness.
Along with Despatch, Manoj Bajpayee has also been shooting for Family Man 2.
