With
a
plethora
of
versatile
roles,
Pankaj
Tripathi
has
carved
his
own
space
in
showbiz
and
won
hearts
with
his
impressive
performances
in
films
and
web
shows.
However,
the
actor
has
seen
his
share
of
struggles
before
he
made
his
mark
in
the
entertainment
industry.
Recently
in
a
chat
with
a
Hindi
daily,
the
actor
recalled
his
struggling
days
and
revealed
that
he
used
to
wander
around
Andheri
in
Mumbai
in
search
of
work.
Pankaj
said
that
during
those
six
years,
his
wife
Mridula
took
care
of
all
the
household
expenses
as
he
didn't
earn
anything.
Cut
to
present,
the
actor
revealed
that
he
gets
movie
offers
in
his
parking
lot.
The
tabloid
quoted
the
actor
as
saying,
"To
be
honest,
I
did
not
earn
anything
between
2004
and
2010.
She
(his
wife
Mridula)
bore
the
burden
of
all
expenses
involved
in
the
upkeep
of
our
household.
I
used
to
roam
around
in
Andheri
and
urge
people
'koi
acting
karwa
lo,
koi
acting
karwa
lo
(someone
please
give
me
an
acting
job)'.
But
no
one
listened
to
me
at
the
time.
Now,
when
I
go
home,
I
find
movies
being
offered
in
my
parking
lot."
He
continued,
"I
find
directors
in
my
parking
lot,
asking
me
'Where
are
you?
I
want
to
do
a
film
with
you,
please
sit
for
a
narration'.
Earlier,
I
struggled
but
found
no
jobs
even
when
I
searched
for
them
in
Andheri,
but
now
there
are
queues
of
movies
being
offered
right
in
my
parking
lot.
During
those
struggling
days,
Mridula
used
to
take
care
of
all
the
expenses,
from
the
house
rent
to
other
basic
needs."
Earlier
in
an
interview
with
Indian
Express
when
Tripathi
was
asked
about
how
he
makes
every
character
on
the
script
come
alive,
the
actor
had
said,
"Duniya
me
bohot
saare
logo
se
mile
hai,
aisi
paristhiti
me
rahe
hai
(I
have
met
many
people,
I
have
lived
in
many
situations).
I
have
seen
that
world.
So,
it
is
all
an
experience
of
life.
Life
taught
me
a
lot.
So,
it
all
comes
from
the
learnings."
Pankaj
Tripathi
was
last
seen
in
Kriti
Sanon-starrer
Mimi
which
premiered
on
Netflix
and
Jio
Cinema
on
July
26.
