In a previous interview, Pankaj shared his father’s aspiration for him to become a doctor, as was common in their village in North Bihar. Despite the conventional expectations, Pankaj’s family endorsed his passion for acting, understanding the challenges of a middle-class life. His father remained largely unfamiliar with his achievements in the film industry, occasionally glimpsing them on others’ computers or the newly acquired television at Pankaj’s home.
Pankaj Tripathi’s recent film, “OMG 2,” co-starring Akshay Kumar and Yami Gautam, has been enjoying success at the box office. In this difficult time, Pankaj Tripathi and his family are undoubtedly in the thoughts of many, as they navigate the loss of a beloved patriarch.
