In an interview, Pankaj Tripathi said, “Yes I don’t go to Bollywood parties because earlier no one used to call me in these parties but now when they invite me, I don’t feel like going.” He also said that he has a problem with being called a character actor. He said, “Yeh I definitely have a problem when people call me that. What is a supporting actor or a character actor? An actor is an actor. More than ‘supporting actor,’ I have a problem with being called a ‘character actor’. I don’t get the term ‘character actor’. In films everyone is playing a character. Who is a characterless actor? Every one is doing a character including the lead actors.”
