Actor Pankaj Tripathi graced the 54th International Film Festival of India in Goa recently as his film Kadak Singh premiered at the festival. The actor was also a part of a masterclass where he spoke about his acting experiences. Tripathi talked about how people now see him as a humble person and said that sometimes he wonders if he truly is humble or just acting.

The actor said, “While I live my life, I also observe it and I am exploring it. In recent times, an image has formed about me that I am a very humble person. Everyone else says so. Now I am literally evaluating if I am genuinely so ‘humble’ or if I am a sharp witted man who acts to be a humble man. I am still discovering it. So am I really humble? Because even I get angry. I even get the feeling of taking revenge, but then I overcome it with time.”

Tripathi said that he usually does not get frustrated easily and opened up about how he would never refuse any roles earlier. The actor said that he thought he would become ‘frustrated’ after Gangs of Wassepur, but nothing happened. “I had no problems for eight years and I did not get frustrated. I don’t know why. I was a very content man. After playing a cop in daily soap for a week, I never came back home and thought ‘what am I doing with my life?’ I never refused any kind of role,” he said.

Political Pulse2 hr ago

While the numbers seem to be stacked in favour of the ruling BJP-led NDA in the Vice-Presidential election scheduled for Tuesday, in which the NDA’s candidate C P Radhakrishnan is pitted against the Opposition INDIA alliance’s nominee Justice (retired) P Sudershan Reddy, the decision of the BJD and the BRS to abstain from voting may further boost Radhakrishnan’s prospects.
