He thought back to an incident from the sets of Joram and said, "When I was shooting for Joram, one girl came up to me, this was her first film. She said ‘sir, I am really enjoying working with you’.” After which, Manoj thanked her. The woman further asked, “‘Sir, it is very well known about you that you take a shot before every take. I said ‘what shot?’ She said ‘people think it is a vodka shot’.” Manoj expressed his shock and told her “What shot? I don’t even drink hard liquor.”
When the woman reminded Manoj that he drinks from a little bottle every few hours, Manoj revealed that it was the bottle for his homeopathic medicne.
The woman asked Manoj about the little miniature he drinks from every few hours, Manoj then revealed that the miniature was infact his bottle for homeopathic medicine. “I said ‘are you crazy? This is homeopathic medicine.’ People think I go on the set after having a vodka shot, yeh toh sharabi hai kebabi hai.” Manoj mentioned that people made assumptions about him without asking when they saw him taking drops of homeopathic medicine straight from the bottle, which was required by the medication. He insisted, “I don’t drink hard liquor.”
