Pankaj Tripathi was a waiter in Patna hotel, today he is a star: Life story of Mirzapur actor

From nobody in Bihar to an established actor on the silver screen, Pankaj Tripathi has carved out a reputation for himself as a rising star in the Bollywood industry. Pankaj has put in a great deal of effort behind his now rising career.

He announced his arrival on 5 September 1976 in Belsand, a village in Gopalganj District, Bihar. He was born to Pandit Banaras Tripathi and Hemwanti Devi and is the youngest of their five children. His father plies his trade as a farmer and priest.

How many of you all know that Tripathi also worked as a farmer until he was Class XI at school. During festivals, he used to portray the role of a girl in his village’s natak. He earned massive praise from the villagers and it was when he made up his mind to make a career out of acting.

After years of hard work in his acting career, he has got himself a luxurious home in Madh Island. However, he hasn’t forgotten the struggles he went through when he lived in his one-room shed with its tin roof in Patna.

“My wife Mridula and I own our dream house. But I haven’t forgotten my one-room shed with its tin roof in Patna. One night, the rains and wind were so intense that one of the tin sheets blew away and I was left looking at the naked sky,” he recounted according to idiva.
