Pankaj Tripathi has been in the industry for a long time now but it’s only recently that he has started getting the popularity he deserves. He went unnoticed in early films such as Run (2004), and made an impact with his craft only in the 2010s, with roles in Gangs Of Wasseypur, Sacred Games and Mirzapur. It’s been over a decade now since his debut, and the acclaimed artist recently talked about how India is recognising him only now when he is 44.

“I am 44 years old and India knows me now. Better late than never,” he said.
However, Pankaj, who was born in Belsand, a village in Gopalganj District in Bihar, does not fuss about the challenges he has faced to reach this high in his career.
“I have faced the same struggles that any actor faces. My difficulties were no different than the others. I come from a non-filmy background and I am a small village boy, so the challenges were a little more. I think that is organic and I have no complaints, because that happens in every field and not just in acting,” Pankaj told IANS.
