Pankaj Tripathi Birthday: Pankaj Tripathi, one of the most respected actors in the Indian film industry, is celebrating his 47th birthday today.
The actor, who is known for his versatility and natural acting, has come a long way from his humble beginnings.
Tripathi was born on Sep 05, 1976 in a small village called Belsand in Bihar to a farmer's family. He had no plans to become an actor, but he was drawn to the stage after seeing a play in Patna.
He moved to Delhi to study acting at the National School of Drama, but he struggled to find work after graduating.
In 2004, Tripathi moved to Mumbai to pursue his dream of becoming a Bollywood actor.
He started out by doing small roles and worked as a waiter to make ends meet. He also had to live in a one-room apartment with his wife, Meryl.
Tripathi's big break came in 2012 when he was cast in the film "Gangs of Wasseypur."
He won critical acclaim for his performance as Sardar Khan, and the film helped him to establish himself as a leading actor.
Since then, Tripathi has starred in a number of successful films and television series, including "Masaan," "Mukkabaaz," "Ludo," and "Mirzapur."
He has also won numerous awards, including two National Film Awards and a Filmfare Award.
Today, Tripathi is one of the most successful actors in India. He is known for his down-to-earth personality and his commitment to social causes.
He is also a role model for many young actors who are struggling to make it in the industry.
In 2019, Tripathi bought a luxurious home in Mumbai's Mud Island. The house has five bedrooms, a swimming pool, and a private gym. It is a far cry from the one-room apartment where he once lived.
Pankaj Tripathi is a true inspiration. He is a reminder that anyone can achieve their dreams if they are willing to work hard and never give up. Happy birthday, Pankaj Tripathi!
