Pankaj Tripathi opens up about his most prized possessions; READ ON

MUMBAI: Actor Pankaj Tripathi is one of the most admired and revered celebs in the film industry today. The actor is not only known for his choice of films but also the meaning he brings to the character he plays. In a recent interview, Pankaj Tripathi opened up about his lie before he became a big name in showbiz. He spoke about falling in love, his National School o drama (NSD) days, and how, at the time, his most prized possessions were a gas cylinder and an Rs. 600 bicycle.

Speaking about where he was career-wise, Pankaj told Hindustan Times, “I had no career as such, though I was doing some theatre and was preparing for the NSD (National School of Drama). Simultaneously, I had also enrolled at the Food Craft Institute in Patna. I didn’t even have a bank account! My most prized possessions were a gas cylinder and ₹600 bicycles.”

Pankaj also opened up about his biggest dream at the time and said, “I wanted my name to appear in the newspaper for my achievements.”
