Pankaj Tripathi's years of struggle finally payed off few years ago when people began to realise the potential of his acting abilities. Since, then there has not been a lack of good work for Pankaj. He's done a variety of roles ranging from comedic to menacing personas in a number of films lately. But it's true that too much of anything can be dangerous.

The excess of workload and long shooting hours are starting to take a toll on Pankaj's health and he has started to realise this. He said, "The packed shooting schedule becomes hectic. Personal life effect hone se zyada physical strain hota hai mujhe bahut. I feel physical rest has become important for me. Now, I feel ke thoda kum kaam karun, thodhi chuti rahe, so I’m trying to balance it."

Pankaj has been part popular recent films and shows which include Mirzapur 2, Ludo, Extraction, Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl, Criminal Justice: Behind Closed Doors, Kaagaz and Mimi. He's hoping to slow down his work life a bit from next year.
