PANKAJ TRIPATHI TALKS ABOUT DAUGHTER AASHI, WIFE MRIDULA

During the promotion of his upcoming film Sherdil: The Pilibhit Saga, Pankaj opened up about his daughter Aashi's plans. He said, "As of now she has no plans to enter Bollywood. Right now she is studying. I haven't seen the future yet but will see when the time comes. For now, I want her to study hard and play sports. But she writes really well, she is very good at literature and is at the top of her class. Also, she reads a lot, but for now, she hasn't shown any interest. Will see what happens in the future."

Well, while his daughter hasn't shown any interest in films, his wife sure did. In the same conversation, Pankaj revealed that his wife Mridula would be making her debut. "My wife Mridula will be debuting with Sherdil. She has done one scene in the film. Director Srijit Mukerjee, who has a Bengali connection with my wife, asked her to come on the sets and promised to give her one scene. She immediately said yes because she got to wear a beautiful Bengali saree in the film. It was an easy bribe, she didn't even get paid," said Pankaj.
