Pankaj Tripathi’s 48th Birthday: Discover the Secret Behind Why Does Pankaj Tripathi Celebrate Two Birthdays?

Did you know that Pankaj Tripathi has two birthdays? The talented actor was born on September 28, but he also celebrates on September 5. The story behind this is quite interesting. When his elder brother took him to enroll in school, he forgot the exact date of Pankaj’s birth. The teacher suggested using September 5, which is Teacher’s Day, saying, “Achha din hai. Bada Aadmi banega" (It’s a good day. He will become a famous man). Since then, Pankaj celebrates both September 5 and 28 as his birthdays.

Overcoming Struggles to Fulfill His Acting Dream

Before becoming a renowned actor, Pankaj Tripathi faced numerous struggles. Born in a small village, he participated in local plays, often performing female roles. His family’s poor financial condition meant that his father couldn’t support his passion for theatre. To make ends meet, Pankaj worked as a cook in a hotel for two years while staying connected to theatre.

The Road to Success

Pankaj’s journey took a significant turn when he joined the National School of Drama in Delhi, where he honed his acting skills. After completing his education, he moved to Mumbai in 2004 and began his Bollywood career with a small role in the film Run alongside Vijay Raaz. Before films, Pankaj appeared in various TV serials and ad films.

Today, he stands as one of Bollywood's finest actors, known for his exceptional performances in films like Stree and Mirzapur.
