Pankaj Tripathi, known for his versatile acting and grounded nature, recently shared some humorous encounters with fans regarding intimate scenes in his films. The actor, who has won hearts with his performances in movies such as "Gangs of Wasseypur," "Fukrey," "Bareilly Ki Barfi," "Mirzapur," and "OMG 2", revealed that he often receives funny and quirky questions about his involvement in such scenes.

Tripathi's ability to connect with audiences stems from his "desi" personality, which makes him relatable and approachable. This relatability extends to the questions he receives, which often reflect the curiosity and amusement of his fans. During an appearance on "The Great Indian Kapil Show," host Kapil Sharma teased Tripathi about his romantic scenes, sparking a lighthearted conversation about love and relationships.

The actor, known for being tight-lipped about expressing love in his personal life, jokingly attributed his limited knowledge of romance to his upbringing in Bihar. He quipped, "I don't know much about romance, as the only person I ever fell in love with is my wife, and I ended up marrying her. I am from Bihar, and our quota of romance is, anyway, very little. However, I'm happy that I got to marry the person I romanced with".

Despite his humorous take on the subject, Tripathi has also expressed his views on the importance of intention and artistry in intimate scenes. He stated that he doesn't have any resistance towards doing intimate scenes as long as the director's intention is not to create a sensation. He emphasizes the need for a purpose behind every scene, and that gratuitous nudity should not be the sole reason for its inclusion. According to him, if people are looking for nudity, they can always opt for pornography.

Tripathi believes that filmmakers should be responsible and include such scenes only when they are essential to the story. He also advocates for a system of certification rather than censorship, allowing content to be categorized for different age groups.

In the context of his film "Kadak Singh," where he has an intimate scene with Bangladeshi actor Jaya Ahsan, Tripathi explained that the scene was shot artistically and resembled poetry. He appreciated the profound dialogues and the director's tasteful approach.

Beyond the humorous fan queries and his views on intimate scenes, Tripathi has also spoken about the importance of consent, stating that sex without consent is sexual abuse, whether before or after marriage. This reflects his commitment to using his platform to raise awareness about important social issues.

Pankaj Tripathi's ability to balance humor with thoughtful perspectives on relevant issues has made him a beloved figure in Indian cinema. His interactions with fans, whether through funny questions or serious discussions, highlight his genuine connection with his audience and his dedication to his craft.
