Manoj Bajpai & Wife Shabana: Sanjay Gupta's New Best Friends

[Priyank]

If you think Sanjay Gupta is sulking over the recent happenings in his life, you better think again. The never-say-die Gupta has already acquired a new set of close friends. And his wife Anu is one of them. On April 14, Gupta turned 41. "I spent the evening with my close friends, photographer Jeetu Savlani, Sameer Soni, Sanjay Suri, Sudhanshu Pandey, Priyanshu Chatterjee, Rohit Roy and of course my wife. And of course Manoj Bajpai and his wife Shabana who are the closest to me after my wife. Anu is my bestest friend. I'm waiting for her to come back. Right now to be around her is enough solace for me. And I'm completely faithful to her. Even if I bump into a girl at a party I run the other way."

Gupta says these are his friends for life. "Most of these people I befriended during the making of Alibaug. They've been on board during this bumpy ride of mine. And I know they aren't with me to get work. They aren't moving on like people generally do after a film. We're extremely close. They're home for any puja or dinner. But Manoj and his wife Shabana are my closest friends. Whenever I'm lonely and low I just ring Shabana up and ask her to cook a meal for me. And I go over."

Gupta's fundas in life are very simple, "I keep thinking positively. If people are upset with me I'm sorry about it." He has also become very close to his entire Alibaug team. "They're people whom I can depend on at any hour of the day. Today at 41 I feel more creative and liberated. On my birthday, my buddy Jeetu Savlani gifted me a bicycle. It took me back to my schooldays when I was a champion cyclist. Now I love the bicycle more than my mo'bike."

Bipasha Basu who opted out of Sanjay Gupta's Acid Factory because she found the role insubstantial is likely to be back in the project. "We had finalized Bipasha. But then our dates were clashing with the Bachchans' world tour. But now that she isn't going on the tour we're trying to get her back. We've made the changes in the script she wanted. Ego never came in the way, not when she made constructive suggestions." Gupta's next release Woodstock Villa is around the corner. "The promos are on. And in spite of all the shit that was written about Sikandar Kher's launch film being jinxed you just see what the film does to the boy. The girl Neha is my sister's daughter. But in spite of the fact that I've fallen out with her father Dharam Oberoi she's being promoted just as strongly as Sikandar."

But Neha's voice has been dubbed! "Let me put it this way. When they started even Sridevi, Rani Mukherjee, Katrina Kaif, and Bipasha Basu were dubbed. I'd say it's good-luck charm. I dubbed her voice for good luck."
