He did his graduation with correspondence. In an interview, while talking about it, he said,
I did my graduation through correspondence from DU. I got admission in Hindu College, but unfortunately, for some reason, they hadnât released the list for Dramatics (Extra-curricular activities) quota. And when they called me again for auditions, I was shooting for Student of The Year (2012). So, I couldnât go for it and lost the opportunity. Everyone tells me that I missed my college life.â

I had never acted before, even in school plays. My parents took me for the audition of âOye Lucky! Lucky Oye! After the audition, the casting director rejected me for the role. However, Dibakar Banerjee insisted on casting me even though the casting director wasnât convinced, I just put my foot down.â

FukreyÂ
In an interview, Manjot shared that once a casting director rejected him because of his turban. The casting director said to him,
Since youâre a sardar, itâs quite difficult for us to search a role for you. Just because Iâm a sardar doesnât mean Iâm funny all the time.â

After Fukrey, I think ek time aaya tha ke mere paas do saal tak kaam nahi tha (there was time when I did not get work for two years). So, the offers that were coming I didnât wish to do and things I wanted to do, werenât coming my way. I was not satisfied with the offers I was getting. So that was a phase where I felt easy nahi hai (itâs not easy). Sitting at home, I was studying and at the same time I was getting films. I was earning good money too, (I thought) life is amazing. But reality check tab pata chalta (you get a reality check) when you have to wait for the right thing.â
