Pankaj Tripathi, of Mirzapur fame, has made a mark on his own. The actor is known for his ace acting skills. His recent movie Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl fetched him love and respect from all corners. Since the actor is an outsider and hails from rural India, it had been a long journey of struggles and hardships. The actor recently opined on the same very popular insider-outsider debate that has been going on for long now.
Pankaj Tripathi Opines on Insider-Outsider Debate:
When asked about his recent movie’s co-star, Janhavi Kapoor also being among those facing trauma, he said, “We, as humans, should have empathy and kindness inside us. At the same time one doesn’t decide where they are going to be born, it’s not in our hands. I know right now, the entire world has below average sensibility, and making the facts reach people through social media is difficult.”
He further added, “If someone is in front of me and I criticise or abuse them, we can see their reaction, and that they felt bad. But on social media, you don’t know how your comment is impacting the other person. I’m not in favour of or against anyone, but we should focus on how we can use social media creatively and healthy.”
“Filmi parivaar ke bachhon ko advantage hai ki unko platform bauhaut asaani se mil jaayega. I’ve been acting for 24 years now. It could have been that in place of me, some film family kid would have been recognised right from their first film. But for them to survive, talent is necessary. After Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Monday onwards the public comes to see the film, not because someone is a producer, director or star’s kid. Even if it’s an average film, it could be average for us, but a big chunk of India’s public could consider it above that,” Pankaj continued.
He also mentioned the names of outsiders such as Manoj Bajpayee, Sanjay Mishra, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and the late actor Irrfan.
