Pankaj Tripathi leaves for Bihar
Pankaj Tripathi left for his village for the last rites of his father. The cause of Banaras Tiwari’s death is not known. The actor had previously said in an interview that his father wasn’t aware of his work as an actor.
He told Mashable that his father wasn’t too proud of his achievements in life as he wasn’t aware of what his son has been doing in cinema. ‘To date, he has not seen how a movie theatre looks from the inside. He sees my work if someone shows him on their computer or on the television, which was recently installed at my house,’ the actor had said last month.
