Renowned for his exemplary performances, Pankaj Tripathi stands among the industry's most exceptional actors. His involvement in several acclaimed films and web series has garnered immense praise over the years. Recently, the actor disclosed an intriguing occurrence where individuals approached him for photographs after recognizing him from a meme or reel.

Speaking to Curly Tales, the actor said, "I was recently in my village and two kids came up to me for a photo. I looked at them and thought that it doesn’t look like they have seen any of my works. So I asked them what have you seen? They said you come in reels and you say ‘shabash’. They came up to me because they had seen me in memes and that’s why they came to get a photo. That’s when I realised that the world of memes and reels is too big."

He added, "When we are shooting somewhere in the interiors of North-East, or Bengal, or somewhere far away in the hills… I go to places where there aren’t many tourists, smaller places, and if I meet someone who knows me there, I’m always surprised. Then I am even more curious as to what work have they seen."
