Pankaj Kapoor and Supriya Pathak.
A true artist is the one for which the medium of acting does not matter. Whether it is stage, television, movies or OTT, an entire artist kills his life everywhere. Pankaj Kapoor is one of such artists. They do not need any introduction, yet someone knows him as ‘Karamchand’, someone as a Musaddilal of ‘Office’ and someone remembers him as Abbaji of Vishal Bhardwaj’s ‘Maqbool’.
Birth and beginning of career
Born on 29 May 1954, Pankaj Kapoor studied with the National School of Drama (NSD). His contribution to the theater has been incomparable-they have made a mark as a magnificent actor, director and writer. Even today, he is deeply connected to the theater. His film career began in 1982 with the film ‘Arohan’. He then played many memorable characters in both television and cinema. He acted in every role that the character became immortal – whether it was a serious Panditji, a funny Mussaddilal or a creepy Abbaji. Pankaj Kapoor has a Filmfare Award and three National Film Awards. His acting has easyness, depth and a special kind of simplicity that makes him different from the rest of the actors.
