Pankaj Tripathi: 'The category does not matter but the performance does'

Pankaj Tripathi is an Indian film actor who has appeared in some of Bollywood's movies including Gangs of Wasseypur – Part 1 and Gangs of Wasseypur – Part 2. He first stepped into the industry with the movie Run (2004). Afterwards, he also starred in famous 'Stree', 'Dabangg 2' and 'Fukrey Returns'. The actor was born in the village of Belsan. His poor village still does not have television. Even the nearest theatre is his place is 25 kilometres away. Pankaj's parents are farmers. He did theatre in his college days in Patna for close to four years before joining the National School of Drama in Delhi.

Pankaj Tripathi's story is also impressive, as he used to be in jail, then later worked for a hotel kitchen. And now, he is a popular actor. Maybe because he had experienced many things throughout his whole life that makes him a thoughtful person like himself today. In a recent interview, Pankaj voiced out his opinion that actors should be judge by their performances, not by their choice of categories or characters.

In an interview with IANS, he revealed what he really had in his mind for so long:

He also added more information,

The success of Pankaj's latest movie "Stree" made him happy and proud. He shared that playing this kind of character is difficult than what he expected.

For Pankaj, a good comedy actor should always stay up-to-date with the current situation.

His upcoming project is going to be "Luka Chuppi" and "Panga". Hope that the actor can get more success as he has this typical devotion and passion in his career.
