Resharing Neeraj’s statement on X, Bajpayee wrote that he respects the emotions and concerns that people have shared and every response is taken seriously. “When something you are part of causes hurt to some people, it makes you pause and listen,” he added. The actor further explained that when a film is signed, it is the character and story that attract him. Calling his character in Ghooskhor Pandat a flawed individual, Manoj said the film is about his journey of self-realisation and not a statement about any community. Praising Neeraj for his approach towards his films, he concluded saying the decision to pull down the promotional assets ‘reflects the seriousness with which the concerns are being taken.’
