Скачать или смотреть Pankaj Tripathi on Fame, Silence & the Art of Staying Grounded | InFocus | THR India

Acclaimed actor Pankaj Tripathi sits down with Anupama Chopra on The Hollywood Reporter India for a deeply introspective conversation about his remarkable journey from a small-town dreamer to one of India's most beloved performers. Fresh from the success of Criminal Justice Season 4, Pankaj opens up about his evolving relationship with fame, his conscious decision to embrace silence over constant chatter, and why he now views his entire career as an elaborate game rather than reality.

He shares profound insights about learning the art of staying quiet from Atal Bihari Vajpayee's philosophy, discusses his transformative self-reflection period following his father's passing, and reveals why he took a year-long break from films without announcing it publicly. In this candid interview, Pankaj reflects on maintaining his innocence in the maya nagri of Mumbai, his practice of detachment from box office results, and how he's learned to separate his authentic self from his public persona.

From his franchise success with Criminal Justice and Mirzapur to his nuanced performances in films like Kadak Singh and Main Atal Hoon, he discusses the challenges of repeating beloved characters while keeping them fresh. The versatile actor also addresses his relationship with awards and recognition, his minimal approach to acting that creates maximum impact, and why he believes true stardom lies in appearing only on screen rather than being omnipresent in media.

Don't miss this rare, philosophical conversation with one of Indian cinema's finest character actors as he shares his wisdom about craft, contentment, and the delicate balance between ambition and inner peace with remarkable honesty and humor.
