Pankaj Tripathi started with Ramleela in the village and due to his hard work and dedication reached the National School of Drama, Delhi. Regarding his experiences at the National School of Drama, Pankaj Tripathi says, “Before doing drama and acting, I was a Hindu and a Brahmin. After joining drama, I am just a human being. In today’s era or in any era, it is a very difficult task to leave all kinds of prejudices and feeling of superiority while living in the society and live just as a human being. But this is very important for an artist. Unless he takes off his fixed spectacles, he will not be able to know There is so much beauty in the world. Without leaving aside the pride of caste, religion, development of an artist is not possible. Only when an artist leaves his prejudices, he becomes better at the level of a person and he tries to leave a better world for the coming generation. This kind of thinking reflects the sensitivity of Pankaj Tripathi. In today’s mechanical era, talking about these idealistic ideas and not just talking but living these ideas in his personal life, in itself makes Pankaj Tripathi an exemplary personality.
After completing his studies from National School of Drama, Pankaj Tripathi reached Mayanagari Mumbai. He was married. New city, family responsibilities and film industry full of challenges. Pankaj Tripathi’s struggle continued here also. Pankaj Tripathi says about his journey in Mumbai, “After coming to Mumbai, the first attempt was to somehow survive here. Only when there would be arrangements to survive, the idea of art etc. would be able to come to the ground. After a few days, when we went for casting, we would have different experiences. There were different criteria for casting then. It does not matter whether you have done an acting course from a very reputed place or you are a beginner. It all depends on your looks. Even if you are not good looking, not tall, you will be sidelined from films and if you are a new artist, you will be made to feel inferior, inferior, and this used to happen to me for a long time. I felt very angry that I had not come to Mumbai to listen to the abuse. Then I listened to my friend and responded to all the critics on my own.
Pankaj Tripathi tells about his acting journey that after seeing his acting during a film, his co-actor and drama school teacher said that he was proud that he could teach acting to Pankaj Tripathi.
