'I am fine now' says Manoj Bajpai after being declared out of danger from the hospital

A recurrent headache landed Manoj Bajpai in the hospital this week. And speculation about his health went wild. It was said that the shooting of his current film, Neeraj Pandey’s Aiyyary, had to be cancelled because of Manoj’s health scare.

However, the Aligarh actor is out of danger and was out of the hospital on the way to the shooting of Aiyyary, when we spoke. “I am fine. Yes, I did get myself checked into the hospital after recurrent headaches. My doctor advised me not to ignore it. Umar bhi toh abb ho rahi hai (I am getting along now). I am 48. I have to be careful about my health. My doctor told me not to ignore the headaches,” says Manoj who after intense medical investigation was declared disease-free.

Heaving a sigh of relief Manoj says, “I realise how important it is to be healthy. After a scare like this you start valuing your health even more.”

On Thursday afternoon Manoj flew out of Mumbai to London for a long spell of shooting with Sidharth Malhotra. “Aiyyary ki taiyaaree ho chuki hai,” chuckled the relieved actor. “I am in a flight about to take off for London for the next schedule of the film. My wife and daughter are accompanying me. We are hoping to have a good time while I work.”
