Mumbai, June 24 (NationPress) The renowned actor Pankaj Tripathi has shared insights on how his formative years in Bihar have significantly influenced his acting abilities.
In a conversation with IANS, Pankaj remarked: “Absolutely, it has. Our experiences define us. We are mere puppets of our past. My journey, like everyone else's, where I was born and raised, becomes a part of my artistic expression.”
He further elaborated: “Regardless of whether I was in a corporate setting or another domain, my essence would remain intact. Being in the realm of acting and the arts brings us closer to human emotion and nature.

Metro,” inspired partly by Billy Wilder’s iconic romantic comedy “The Apartment.” The film tells the stories of nine individuals in Mumbai while addressing themes such as extramarital affairs, the sanctity of marriage, commitment phobia, and love.
