Pankaj Tripathi On Stardom: I Don't Know About Being A Star, All I Know Is Working With Honesty
"Nothing has changed. I don¡¯t have an idea if I am a star and I don¡¯t know what it¡¯s like to be a star. I don¡¯t have an idea about stardom. I used to work with honesty and I am doing it with sincerity till now,¡± Pankaj told IANS.
Pankaj Tripathi is a national treasure.
There is absolutely no other way to regard and respect Tripathi's mastery of his craft of acting. He is not just a stellar performer but his ability to select roles that when intertwined with his genius ability stand for a truly memorable character. In 2020, when the Hindi film industry had to shut down in order to curb the spread of coronavirus and the future was uncertain, the only actor to have a blockbuster year with releases like Mirzapur Season 2, Ludo, and Gunjan Saxena is Pankaj Tripathi.

But if this newfound fan following and fame has made any difference to him then think again. Pankaj Tripathi is an actor. He doesn't want to be labeled or referred to as a star.
"Nothing has changed. I don¡¯t have an idea if I am a star and I don¡¯t know what it¡¯s like to be a star. I don¡¯t have an idea about stardom. I used to work with honesty and I am doing it with sincerity till now,¡± Pankaj told IANS.

He is, of course, aware of the love he has won and couldn't be more grateful.
¡°I know people love me. I get to know about it through social media. Sometimes I feel that the love of the audience is like a fixed deposit with me and I have to give them back with interest. So, the responsibility and trust increases. I have to return the love of the audience with interest,¡± he said.
