“I was in the 10th standard when I played a girl for the first time. The boy who used to play a girl had not returned from town, people were wondering that the play won’t happen that year as that boy wasn’t there. It was then that I volunteered to take up the part. But our director — Raghav chacha told me to take permission from my father, just in case he got angry later and climbed the stage with a lathi. My father didn’t object to me playing a girl and allowed me to do as I wish to,” Pankaj Tripathi said. 

He goes on to add that after taking the role, his popularity amassed among his fellow villagers and he started dancing on item songs because he is an incredible dancer.
