In
a
recent
tete-a-tete
with
a
leading
daily,
actor
Pankaj
Tripathi,
well-known
for
his
craft,
spoke
about
existence
of
nepotism
and
if
it
ever
bothered
him.
Much
to
our
surprise,
Tripathi
revealed,
"Nepotism
has
never
really
bothered
me
in
any
way.
I
have
always
been
busy
working
on
my
craft.
People
might
think
I
am
lying
when
I
say
that
I
have
never
felt
uncomfortable
in
the
industry.
But
this
journey
and
experience
have
been
mine
so
I
only
can
say
how
it
was
so
far."
The
Stree
actor
further
added
that
he
has
had
his
share
of
struggles,
but
at
the
same
time,
he
has
worked
immensely
hard
to
bag
roles
in
films.
He
shared
that
he
struggled
for
eight
long
years
before
people
started
recognizing
him.
"Although
I
have
never
had
any
such
experiences,
I
would
not
deny
that
I
have
seen
these
things
happening
in
the
industry
with
others.
Star
kids
do
get
opportunities
quicker
than
others
because
they
belong
to
a
certain
family.
I
never
got
opportunities
so
easily.
However,
nobody
stopped
me
too.
No
matter
if
you
become
a
recognized
actor
after
eight
years
of
struggle
or
just
a
mere
eight
days
if
you
do
not
have
the
talent;
you
will
not
survive
in
this
industry.
The
audience
is
very
smart.
They
know
who
is
talented
and
who
is
not," shared
Tripathi
while
speaking
to
TOI.
When
asked
if
he
ever
faced
any
difficulty
in
fitting
himself
into
the
world
of
glamour,
Pankaj
Tripathi
said
that
people
in
this
industry
are
very
good,
and
have
always
given
him
love
and
respect.
He
further
added
that
he
has
not
changed
himself
even
a
little
to
be
a
part
of
this
industry.
"I
am
still
that
man
from
rural
India.
I
have
only
changed
in
the
sense
that
I
have
learnt
my
craft
of
performing
arts
and
have
read
good
books.
As
far
as
my
looks
and
attire
are
concerned,
I
still
wear
what
I
am
most
comfortable
in.
I
have
never
changed
my
originality," said
the
Gunjan
Saxena:
The
Kargil
Girl
actor.
