That Manoj Bajpayee is one of the finest actors in the Indian film industry is no secret. But perhaps, the fact that he is an amazing cook, may be. Hailing from Bihar, the Family Man star wears many feathers in his hat, one of which is cooking. In an episode of Mashable Middle East’s ‘Mashable Gatecrashes’, Manoj Bajpayee is seen cooking his favourite Bihar Aloo Bhujiya at celebrity chef Ranveer Brar’s Kashkan In Dubai.

As Manoj cooks the dish, Ranveer Brar tells Mashable ME that many people (celebrities) visit the kitchen and pretend to cook dishes. Many use ready-made food for the camera. The celebrity chef assertively adds that it was the first time someone cooked a dish from scratch with patience while enjoying every bit of the process. “It is what it is,” cuts Ranveer as Manoj tries to do away with the credit.
