For many, Pankaj Tripathi is more than just a name. From a minor role in Omkara to owning the industry with his natural performances, he has come a long way. He has earned everyone's respect because he has never shied away from any character role that has been offered to him, and it is always a pleasure to watch him.
While writing this article, I was trying to recall one of his best works that I could highlight, but it appears that there isn't a single project that I can single out as one of his best because he has outperformed himself in every role that he has taken on.

In a recent interview with IANS, Pankaj Tripathi attributed his rise and popularity to the OTT space.
Tripathi said ¡°If there was no OTT, then there would have been a fight still going on with me. I wouldn¡¯t have got any reach. OTT only gave me space because there is the importance of content and stories and not actors that much.¡±
He concluded by stating, "Whatever I am, it is because of my stories and the characters that I have played. I am a very small person but my characters and stories are very big¡ The growth that I have had is all because of OTT."
In the same interview he was said if he was not acting, he would be a farmer or a politician, he said, "Farmer¡ My father was that and that was my ancestral work. I would¡¯ve done farming. Or maybe since I was a student politician I would probably have been in politics. I don't know¡±.

On the work front, his film Sherdil: The Pilibhit Saga was released on June 24. Pankaj's performance in Sherdil has received praise from both critics and the audience. This film is significant for many reasons, including the fact that it features KK's last song. Also, he will appear in 'Fukrey 3', which is fantastic news for all his fans.
