Pankaj Tripathi reacted to Pankaj Jha’s words: He said- ‘I never sought sympathy by telling about my struggle, nor did I ever say that I slept at the station’

Pankaj Jha, who played the role of MLA in the web series Panchayat, had recently indirectly targeted actor Pankaj Tripathi. Jha said that there are many actors in the industry who snatch work from other actors and glamorize their struggle. Now Pankaj Tripathi has given his reaction on these things. In a conversation with India Today, he said, ‘I do not glamorize my journey and struggle. Yes, I did tell that when I was looking for work, my wife used to run the house. I never said that I slept at Andheri station with a towel tied around my neck. When I came to Mumbai, I had a good and happy life. I have never glamorized struggle and garnered sympathy.’ Pankaj Tripathi further said that his aim is not at all to inspire anyone by telling his life journey. What did Pankaj Jha say in the last interview? Recently, in an interview given to Digital Commentary, Jha had also said that some people steal someone’s slippers and say that he is a very big actor for us, so we stole his slippers. According to reports, he was referring to Pankaj Tripathi. In fact, a few years ago in ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’ Pankaj Tripathi had told that during his struggling days Manoj Bajpayee had once come to stay at the hotel where he used to work. Manoj had forgotten his slippers in the hotel itself which Pankaj had kept. When Jha was asked in the interview whether he feels that there was politics with him regarding the role in ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’? In response to this he had said, ‘I had gone to Patna for the shooting of a film. There I got a message from casting director Mukesh Chhabra that he wanted to cast me in ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’. When I returned after two days after shooting for some other project, I came to know that the role in Wasseypur had been given to someone else.’ Let us tell you that Pankaj Tripathi had got that role, which changed his fortunes. Pankaj Jha had given clarification Recently, Jha, while giving clarification on the things said in the interview, had denied that he had said those things for Pankaj Tripathi. He had said, ‘I did not take the name of any Tripathi in the interview. You can listen to my interviews that I did not take anyone’s name. Why would I say such things? The media always needs masala and for this they make such news according to their own convenience.’ Pankaj had further said, ‘Such news does not make any sense. Pankaj Tripathi is a very good friend of mine. We have worked together in many films. He is my junior. He came into the industry after me and I have been here for a long time.’
