Bollywood actor Pankaj Tripathi recalling on his struggling days and said he used to wander around Andheri looking for work, but got nothing for six years. The actor said that he didn’t use to earn a single penny and his wife used to take care of his expenses.
In an interview with a leading daily the actor said, “To be honest, I did not earn anything between 2004 and 2010. She (his wife Mridula) bore the burden of all expenses involved in the upkeep of our household. I used to roam around in Andheri and urge people ‘koi acting karwa lo, koi acting karwa lo (someone please give me an acting job)’. But no one listened to me at the time. Now, when I go home, I find movies being offered in my parking lot.”
“I find directors in my parking lot, asking me ‘Where are you? I want to do a film with you, please sit for a narration’. Earlier, I struggled but found no jobs even when I searched for them in Andheri, but now there are queues of movies being offered right in my parking lot. During those struggling days, Mridula used to take care of all the expenses, from the house rent to other basic needs,” he further said in Hindi.
Meanwhile, on the work front, the actor will soon be seen in Mimi costarring Kirti Shannon. The release date of the comedy drama was changed at the last moment, and it was released on Monday evening, hours after it was leaked online.
