Besides the successful debut of Mirzapur: The Movie, Pankaj Tripathi has another reason to celebrate- his 50th birthday, which also coincides with Teacher’s Day. The actor’s happy phase brought the spotlight on his personal life, particularly his unique love story with his wife, Mridula Tripathi.
Pankaj Tripathi and Mridula Tripathi’s unique story, from love at first sight to meeting her prospective groom
Many know Pankaj Tripathi as the scheming and ruthless ‘Kaleen Bhaiya’ from the Mirzapur franchise. However, beyond his on-screen persona lies a true romantic who has eyes only for his wife, Mridula Tripathi. In real life, Pankaj is a big softie with a filmy love story. Pankaj met his spouse, Mridula for the first time in 1993 at the wedding of his sister and her brother. At that time, he was studying in class eleven, and she was in ninth standard.
