In a recent interview with ANI, Pankaj Tripathi revealed how he aspired to join politics but due to a change in events, had to turn to acting. The actor shared an incident during his days in Bihar. He stated that though he didn’t ever think of entering politics, there was still a thought that he might want to pursue his career in that field.
