When was the first time you saw actor Pankaj Tripathi on-screen? If you remember the old Tata Tea advertisement where he wanted Indians to ‘Jaago Re’ by playing a snobbish politician by asking for votes. Since then, Tripathi has come a long way, mesmerizing us with every character in big films like Gunjan Saxena and Ludo, and of course the popular franchise ‘Mirzapur’ and ‘Mirzapur 2’.
He rose from a middle-class family and is now one of the most loved actors in the film industry. Some of his most famous ads might have made you scratch your head over the years. For example, in this ‘Milk Bikis’ one where he calmly tells the mother to feed his son ‘atta biskoot’ instead of maida.
