On Monday, Pankaj Tripathi turns 46, and we think back to the period when he first mentioned going to jail. When he participated in student politics, he was once imprisoned for seven days.

Pankaj joined the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) while he was a student at Patna’s Magadh University, according to a 2019 PTI article. You don’t have anything to do in jail, he told the news agency as he described Beur jail in Patna. No cooking, no cooking meetings, nothing. You are all by yourself. A man starts learning about himself when he is incredibly lonely. In those seven days, I met myself. When I began reading Hindi literature, I became aware of how out of place I was in it. That entirely changed me,” he said.

Many of his old ABVP colleagues are now MLAs in Bihar, he added in an interview with The Lallantop in 2020. Additionally, he noted that the communist parties in the area and the RJD-Congress coalition government in Bihar at the time had organised a protest against a shooting event in Madhubani in which police opened fire on students.

We had to stay in a different barrack since we were political prisoners, and since it was close to the Christmas break for the courts, we had to stay for a week. We were released later on bail.

Criminal Justice Adhura Sach, Pankaj’s most recent film, is currently available for streaming on Disney+ Hotstar. Sherdil The Pilibhit Saga, his most recent theatrical release, is currently also accessible on Netflix. His project lineup is really intriguing. He will appear in the forthcoming movie OMG Oh My God 2 with Akshay Kumar. Additionally, he is working on the third season of his well-liked crime-focused series Mirzapur on Prime Video.
