The actor will teach Upen Hindi and in turn, learn body-building from him

Bihari babu Manoj Bajpai and Brit brat Upen Patel may not have much in common but they’ve managed to find something that they can learn from each other.

The pair met on the sets of Money Hai Toh Honey Hai. And it wasn’t long before the big-hearted Manoj ‘adopted’ Upen as his younger brother and decided to give him Hindi lessons which anyone who has heard him speak would know Upen is in dire need of.

According to a source from the unit, “Manoj made a deal with Upen that all conversations between them would only be in Hindi. Manoj promised Upen that he would help him improve his language, diction and grammar.”

Manoj has a very strong command over the language and during breaks is seen in Upen’s vanity van taking his Hindi lessons. He confirms, “Yes I do help the London boy with his Hindi. He is a talented actor and if polished, he can do wonders. It’s fun being with him and I love the way he raps.”

Upen is returning the favour by giving the Satya actor tips on body building and helps him with his workout. He is also helping Manoj acquire the current B-Town craze six-pack abs. ”

Upen adds, “Manoj is like my elder brother. I need someone like him who supports me.”
