Pankaj Tripathi is one of the most loved actors in Bollywood. He has appeared in various movies. The actor is famous for his realistic acting. Recently we celebrated hindi diwas. The actor in a recent interview opens up about the importance of the Hindi language.

Speaking about one cannot get success if he speaks in Hindi in Bollywood. The actor said, “That’s the colonial mindset, especially in north India.” he says, explaining, “Mindset is that ‘agar success paani hai, toh aapko angrezi aani chahiye, varna failure ho jaaoge’. English elite ki bhaasha samajh baithe, jabki woh toh colonial language hai. Cool aur educated lagne ke liye voh maap-dand ban gaya hai. People think ‘Angrezi bol raha hai, padha-likha hoga’.”

The actor further said, “Language is only a mode of communication, not a parameter of how much knowledge one has. Woh hangover hat jaana chahiye.” He further added, “I can’t generalise and say everyone speaks Hindi, but the majority do. Two-three percent, who belong to important departments on a set, speak in English. Earlier, I’d get my scripts in English, and I wasn’t in a position to ask for them in only Hindi. So, I’d write all my dialogues in that, as it is easier for me to memorize. Today, I only get my scripts in Hindi.”

Pankaj Tripathi has featured in Gangs of Wasseypur in 2012. He has since starred in several films, such as Fukrey, Bareilly Ki Barfi, Newton, Stree, Ludo, and Mimi.
