National Award winning actor Manoj Bajpayee, who is known for his films like `Gangs of Wasseypur`, `Satya`, `Aligarh`, `The Family Man`, has shared that he was really fond of dancing and thought to exhibit his skills as a dancer on the screen until he saw Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan`s dance.
The actor, who will be soon seen in the upcoming streaming film `Gulmohar` along with Sharmila Tagore, recently appeared on chat show `The Bombay Journey X Sunday Brunch`.
Talking about his affinity for singing he said, “Since I`m from theatre, there used to be a prerequisite that an artiste should know how to sing. Main naachta bhi tha (I used to dance as well).”
Manoj revealed that he is a trained Chhau dancer. “Main Chhau dance mein trained hoon par fir jab maine Hrithik ko dekha toh maine socha aaj se dancing ka khwaab band (I`m trained in Chhau dance but when I saw Hrithik performing, my dreams of dancing were shattered). I was like `Ab ye nahi seekh sakta main` (I can`t learn this now).”
