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

“It was our dream home, a love nest at the seaside. Now I’ve finally bought our dream house in Madh Island. My wife got very emotional after we shifted into our new home,” said the Criminal Justice actor Pankaj.

Pankaj also credited his success in Hindi films to his wife, and other women who motivated him through and through in his life. He said, “Mridula and I survived on her income in Mumbai. She was a qualified school teacher and she got a job in Mumbai while I did what all out-of-town actors in Mumbai do… Struggle.

My first major role was in ‘Dharm’ in 2007 where I got to work with my namesake, the great Pankaj Kapur. It is significant that my first major role came to me from a woman director. Women have always played a very important part in my career.

Besides my wife Mridula, I can’t thank the great acting luminaries like Anamika Tiwari and Anuradha Kapoor enough. They encouraged me and gave me hope as an actor.”
