Promoting Hindi language is my duty, says Stree star Pankaj Tripathi
Pankaj Tripathi, who was last seen in Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao starrer Stree, says he is a Hindi cinema actor so, promoting Hindi language is his duty. The actor is currently shooting for his next Bollywood movie Shakeela, based on South Indian actress Shakeela, and reveals that on the sets of the film he talks in Hindi and even use difficult Hindi words to make others learn them.
"Being a responsible citizen of India and coming from a Hindi medium school, I believe it's my responsibility and duty to teach and correct Hindi. While shooting for Shakeela biopic, my director Indrajit Lankesh used to tell me to speak in Hindi with him so that his Hindi could improve," Pankaj said in a statement.
"Generally, I don't use common Hindi words while communicating. I use a bit difficult Hindi words on set. Crew members often used to ask me the meaning of those Hindi words. They were excited to learn meaning of new Hindi words. It wasn't difficult communicating with Bengaluru crew members on sets of Shakeela biopic. I am a Hindi cinema actor, promoting Hindi language is my duty," he added.
Undoubtedly, Pankaj Tripatgi is an excellent performance and terrific actor and has even won National award for the same. As much as he is the director’s actor, Tripathi has revealed earlier that for comedies, improvisation is the need. To improvise, you must be spontaneous, aware, have a sense of humour and a social satirical sense, says the actor, acclaimed for films like Masaan, Gurgaon and Newton. "There are lot of factors that come into play when improvising. Most of all one must fully be there in the scene. You cannot wait for a cue. It is after many years of experience, working in good theatre plays, with great teachers and working on one's craft will an actor be able to improvise,” says the actor.
