Manoj revealed, ‘You need to have enough money for medical expenses and for your children’s education. You need to be able to live a comfortable, dignified life, where you don’t have to borrow money from anybody. That’s it. Otherwise, there’s no limit. The limit is Ambani. There are lots of rich people in the world, and I cannot become like them through acting. You have to set your own limits, and rein in your greed.’

He added, “So long as you see money as a by-product of your job, you will remain at peace. If you are desperate for money, your journey isn’t going to last very long. If you prioritise your work, money will follow. I believe in this very strongly. You shouldn’t compromise on what is basically a by-product.”

The Family Man actor added, “We live a middle-class life. And we are proud of it. But here’s what happens, when you make a name for yourself, luxuries follow. I don’t have to ask for them. But at the end of the day, we prefer our upper middle-class life, because that’s where the peace lies. You have to choose between greed and peace, and we choose peace… I have a big car and a cheap, small car. I prefer driving the small car whenever we’re going out together or I’m going to buy groceries.”
