In the ever-evolving world of OTT platforms, the place binge-watching and streaming have turn out to be the norm, Pankaj Tripathi shares that he stays oblivious to the present debates and developments within the OTT house as he doesn’t “consume any content.”
“You won’t believe if I tell you that I do not watch anything at all. I have watched 50 films in my entire life, not more than that. Out of these, 80 per cent are Irrfan Khan’s films. Pehle jab samay hota tha toh I used to watch independent movies but ab toh theatre gaye hue bhi chaar saal hogae honge. I don’t even remember the last commercial film that I watched,” says the actor, whose film, OMG2 has recently dropped on streaming.
Ask him if his own work intrigues him, the actor says that it’s not about whose project it is, but the fact that he does not like to binge watch anything. “I cannot binge watch. I just cannot sit at one place for too long. Main apne scenes bhi forward kar ke dekh lunga aur phir walk karne nikal jaaunga. I like to cook, do gardening on my day off. That’s what I am interested in”
He goes on, “Apne venture ke bhi 6 maheene ke baad kuch scenes nikaal kar dekh leta hu foremost. That too when I’ve to revist my efficiency and see how my character behaved within the first season, as a way to put together myself for the second season of any present. Or if somebody has appreciated me lots for a selected scene, I watch it to see ki aisa kya hai ki itna appreciation mil raha hain. Or for self criticism and to grasp my flaws.”
While it may come out as a surprise for his fans, Tripathi tells us how not watching other’s work has helped him as an artiste. “I’ve not watched plenty of content material and I believe that is the rationale why my performances and my appearing feels unique. It’s not influenced or impressed by anybody. Koi (meri performnce dekh kar) ye nahi keh sakta ki foremost is us actor ki tarah (act) kar raha hu,” shares the actor, adding that he has worked hard on his craft and developed a way of acting, which is very original.
