Speaking to Bollywood Hungama, Manoj said in Hindi, “I met Sidharth Shukla once. I was watching a play in Prithvi Theatre, he was also there and we partied. After that, he became a big star now. I’ve been told that Shehnaaz is also a big star. If such big stars recommend and endorse your show and the way their fans show excitement when they associate with your show and with their endorsement so all I would say Sidharth aur (and) Shehnaaz thank you very much for really coming on board and endorsing this show and please watch it and don’t forget to tweet after watching the show.”
Manoj’s response came after the interviewer read a fan’s remark. The fan said, “What a fantastic trailer!! Even Sidharth-Shehnaz tweeted this. fans are crazy for Sid-Naaz and they’re crazy for the Family Man 2 just like us.”
After watching the trailer of The Family Man 2, both Sidharth and Shehnaaz had tweeted about it. “Family Man ka trailer dekh kar mazza aa gaya @sidharth_shukla Season 1 wapas dekhna banta hai, what say? #LoveTheFamilyMan (Loved the trailer of Family Man. @sidharth_shukla we should watch the first season all over again, what say?),” Shehnaaz wrote.
Sidharth responded, “Sri, Sri, Srikant ji, the not so minimum guy ko wapas dekhna hi padega (have to watch again). Can’t agree more @ishehnaaz_gill, #LoveTheFamilyMan @BajpayeeManoj, kya kadak trailer hai! (what a trailer).”
Manoj had also replied to their tweet, “Tumlog ka plan sunkar mujhe FOMO, LOLO, ROFLO ho raha hai… main bhi aa raha hoon guys, mere liye ruko (After listening to your plan I’m getting FOMO, LOLO, ROFLO… I’m also coming guys, wait for me).”
