Biography
Pankaj Tripathi is an Indian actor and producer born September 5, 1976. After training at the National School of Drama, he worked minor roles in Omkara (2006) and Agneepath (2012) before his breakthrough in Anurag Kashyap's crime drama Gangs of Wasseypur (2012). The role unlocked a decade of supporting-actor prestige: Fukrey (2013), Masaan (2015), Nil Battey Sannata (2016), Bareilly Ki Barfi and Fukrey Returns (2017), Stree (2018), and the cross-language hits Kaala (2018), Extraction (2020), and 83 (2021). His streaming work redefined his reach—Mirzapur (2018–present) and Criminal Justice (2019–2022) positioned him as a franchise anchor. Tripathi won the National Film Award – Special Mention for Newton (2017), then the full National Film Award and Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in Mimi (2021). Recent work includes the satire OMG 2 (2023) and the horror comedy Stree 2 (2024). A Virgo born under life-path number 1, Tripathi embodies the independent pioneer archetype—he built a career on character depth rather than leading-man typecasting. As an actor, he performs across film, television, and streaming media, blending dramatic range with comedic timing.
