Pankaj Tripathi reveals why he stayed away from limelight this year; says, “I am a low-key person”

Bollywood actor Pankaj Tripathi made a deliberate choice to avoid the public eye for six months, despite having nine projects slated for release in 2021. During this period, he focused on his upcoming film projects and also engaged in development work in his village. This work included upgrading a school to a high-tech facility and overseeing the planting of 500 plants. Although it may seem unusual for someone with such a busy schedule to step back from the spotlight, Tripathi stated that it was a conscious decision on his part. He is now ready to return to the screen with his upcoming projects.

Pankaj told Hindustan Times, “Since the last two years, I was very frequently seen on screen, so it was my intentional decision to take a step back from the limelight. I don’t think we should be talking where there is nothing concrete to talk about. In life also, I am a low-key person. I work and head back home. I have many projects releasing in the second half, so thought it is better for me to be low key in the first half.”

Pankaj Tripathi upgraded his village school with solar system and library. He said, “The school, which has become secondary from primary, in my village needed some work. The principal reached out to me as I have also studied from the same school. That’s how I got involved in bettering the infrastructure of the place, and also including a solar system in place. The school is high tech now. The main reason for me to do it was to inspire the students studying there. Have also made a library, now coordinating about adding books there.”

Actor's strong connection with village drives him to help with development work. Tripathi said, “It is very important for me to pitch in the development work for my village and the adjoining areas. Because that is the place where I started my journey, and I can’t ever forget about it. My life’s foundation was laid there. Whenever I get time, I head to the village and feel connected. My parents still star there. Last year, I supervised the planting of 500 plants in the area with the help of the local administration. I don’t like talking about it but I do it for my self-satisfaction. It is the society which has made me an actor, and it is my duty to pay back to the society.”

Coming to the professional front, Tripathi was last seen in the third instalment of his popular web series Criminal Justice. He has a bunch of projects in his kitty including Metro In Dino, Fukrey 3, and OMG 2, among others.
