Panchamda's songs are evergreen, says Manoj Bajpai

Bollywood actor Manoj Bajpai, who was recently spotted at the documentary release of veteran music director R.D. Burman aka Panchamda, said that his songs are evergreen and loved by all.

The 46- year old actor asserted that Panchamda's documentary in itself gives a lesson to all that we must acknowledge the caliber of a person and not the box-office.

"This documentary in itself is a lesson for our society that we should acknowledge and praise the talent, not the box office. When a legend and talented Panchamda was with us then we did not acknowledge him and today when he is no more, we are acknowledging his work," he said.

The 'Gangs of Wasseypur' famed star also expressed his regret over the fact that he could not meet the musical genius.

"Who did not follow Panchamda? Who does not follow Panchamda today? 99 percent of his songs are everybody's favorites, I like them in particular. It's very strange that he died an year and a half after I came to Mumbai, I could not meet him. I was struggler then and will always have regret about it," he said.

Manoj , who will be next seen in Aligarh, urged the people to watch this documentary as it would give them an opportunity to know more about his personal life.

Director Ashutosh Gowariker was also spotted at the event.
