Did you know? Pankaj Tripathi’s original surname was not Tripathi but Tiwari. ❓️

Pankaj Tripathi in a recent interview opened his heart out about his early life 💯

Talking about this incident the actor said, “It must be the first time in history that a father got a name from his son. I was filling out the admit card for the 10th standard. My uncle would use the surname Tripathi and he had become an officer in the government. ✅️

There was also one Baba who had a Tripathi surname, he became a professor of Hindi. Those who had my surname, Tiwari, were either priests or were doing farming. So, I thought this was because of the surname. I didn’t want to become a farmer or a priest. 👍

So I wrote my name as Tripathi in the form. But then I thought I couldn’t write my father’s name as Tiwari in the form as it might get rejected. So I changed his name too.”💯
