Pankaj Tripathi¡¯s rags to riches life story is
nothing but inspiring. The man who literally craved for work, gets offers
in parking lots nowadays. Pankaj Tripathi made an appearance on Amitabh Bachchan¡¯s game
show KBC along with yet another talented actor Pratik Gandhi.
Pankaj spoke about his struggle days and thanked his wife Mridula that because of her he never slept on railway station, ¡°I came to Mumbai in 2004 and Gangs of Wasseypur happened in 2012. For eight years, no one knew what I was doing. When people ask me now, 'how were your days of struggle', that's when I realise that 'oh, those were my struggling days?' At that time, I didn't know that it was a tough period. I didn't realise the hardship because my wife would teach kids, our needs were limited, we lived in a small house and she would earn so I lived easily. Mere sangarsh mein, Andheri station pe sona nahi include hua unki wajah se (I didn't sleep at Andheri station during my days of struggle, thanks to my wife),¡± Pankaj told Amitabh.¡±
In his interview he had revealed that how he never earned for almost 6 years and was surviving on his wife¡¯s earning, ¡°To be honest, I did not earn anything between 2004 and 2010. She (his wife Mridula) bore the burden of all expenses involved in the upkeep of our household. I used to roam around in Andheri and urge people 'koi acting karwa lo, koi acting karwa lo (someone please give me an acting job)'. But no one listened to me at the time. Now, when I go home, I find movies being offered in my parking lot¡±.
This man is a true inspiration for everyone!
