Pankaj Tripathi has now become one of the busiest actors in the industry. With a bucket full of projects with him, the actor, in recent times has become a role model and a support system not just for several outsiders in the film industry but also the general public.

According to ‘Pinkvilla’, speaking about becoming a household name, Pankaj said, “Young actors have started touching my feet now; I feel very awkward. I met Army jawans recently, who told me that before going to high altitudes, they download my films to watch when there is no network and that I keep them company on long, arduous nights; I got very emotional. How could I have ever fathomed that a boy from Bihar would become a support system for a soldier posted on a glacier! It’s very humbling; sometimes I feel like this love that people bestow me with, is a debt, and I don’t know how to repay them for it.”

Pankaj further added, “Perhaps, continuing to make them laugh or think through my roles is how I’ll be able to do that.”

With success comes a better lifestyle. Talking about his lifestyle also being upgraded slowly, the actor shares, “Nothing has changed. Only now that I have purchased a luxury car, they keep telling me it doesn’t run as much as it should, so I’ll have to drive it around more. Also, earlier I had to run only my household; now those of my staff also depend on me, and I have to think about them as well.”
