Actor Pankaj Tripathi’s role as India's three-time Prime Minister, Atal Bihari Bajpayee in the film Main Atal Hoon has left a powerful impact on him.
In an interview with News18, Tripathi revealed, "I haven’t had the chance to meet him face-to-face, but being part of Atal Ji’s rallies was a real honor for me. It left a strong impression on me. His speeches, charisma, and the way he connected with people were truly impressive."
"Even without a personal meeting, those rallies taught me valuable lessons about leadership, effective communication, and connecting with the people," the Gunjan Saxena star added.
He went on to explain, “It deepened my respect for Atal Ji, seeing how he could inspire countless people just through his words and deeds.”
Pankaj Tripati further noted, “Playing the role of Atal Bihari Vajpayee in Main Atal Hoon had a big impact on me. I learned many things from his character, especially his love for the country and his talent for bringing people together.”
The Fukrey actor went on saying, “One story that stayed with me was when Atal Ji said. After portraying Atal Ji’s character, I have become a better person in terms of sympathy, empathy, and compassion."
"I feel I have become more democratic from within. I now understand that I will not dislike a person if he or she dislikes me at any given point. I appreciate giving complete freedom and respect to those who criticize me," added the Mirzapur actor.
“If someday somebody tells me that they didn’t like my movie, I will not hold grudges against those who dislike me or my movies,” he concluded.
Pankaj Tripati was most recently seen in the Netflix film, Murder Mubarak.
