Renowned actor Pankaj Tripathi recently offered a rare glimpse into his personal life, revealing a heartfelt passion for cooking. “Yes, I like to cook,” he shared warmly. “I make Turai sabzi really well—just salt, fenugreek, and turmeric, that’s it. I avoid heavy spices. I can also cook dal rice and traditional Bihari dishes with ease.”
But Tripathi’s reflections extended far beyond the kitchen. In a candid moment on The Right Angle with Sonal Kalra, produced by Gautam Thakker Films, he spoke of travel as a deeply transformative experience. “Travel is not just leisure; it’s awakening. It’s essential for expanding your worldview and truly understanding life,” he emphasized. “Every city, every culture has its own rhythm. When you allow yourself to absorb that rhythm, it changes you—your empathy deepens.”
Encouraging today’s youth to engage more with art, literature, and live performances, Tripathi described such experiences as vital to personal growth. Whether it’s a music concert, a literary festival, or a stage play, he believes these moments help individuals evolve.
“These experiences polish your sensibilities,” he said. “They shape who you are, fuel your creativity, and connect you to the deeper pulse of humanity.”
