Pankaj Tripathi with his wife.
‘Mirzapur’ actor Pankaj Tripathi, who convinced people with his performance in Bollywood, has been married for almost 19 years. The actor had a love marriage with his wife Mridula 19 years ago. Even after so many years, the struggle in his personal life hasn’t gotten any easier. Even after becoming a big name in cinema, the actor’s war continues with his in-laws. Yes, even today actors struggle to establish their relationship. After years of marriage, this has been revealed by the actor’s wife, Mridula. He opened up about his personal life and said that till date his mother-in-law (Pankaj’s mother) has not been able to accept his marriage and this is the reason why she has not been able to accept him as well.
Pankaj’s wife’s revelation
Recently on Atul’s podcast, the actor’s wife said that they had a love marriage at a time when social structures did not allow it. While interacting with YouTube channel Atul, Mridula revealed that she married Pankaj despite apprehensions from families on both sides. He recalled how he met the actor at the wedding of his brother, who was marrying Pankaj’s sister. Mridula said that although their affection for each other was growing, she feared that their relationship would not be accepted because she came from a family of high social status.
What are people’s thoughts?
“This is still not acceptable,” he said. We are not blood relatives, but in our culture it is unacceptable for a woman to marry into a lower status family when another woman is already married to a higher status family member. And since my sister-in-law was married to a person of higher status in my family, I couldn’t marry into her family, who were considered lower status.’
How did you express your feelings to your father?
Mridula was in ninth class and Pankaj in eleventh when they first felt feelings for each other. Later, when she was about to marry someone else, she decided to tell the news to her father, who gave a surprised reaction. He remembers his father saying, ‘Why didn’t you tell me sooner?’ I don’t waste time looking for guys. His mother and sister-in-law were feeling dejected.
Mother-in-law still does not accept the relationship
Mridula said it took time for everyone to accept this relationship, but there are still differences. He said: ‘There was a commotion, a commotion. The sister-in-law was not happy, the mother was not happy. They were worried about how he would take care of me, but little by little they began to accept us. Pankaj, Mridula and their families have come a long way since those days. Speaking further in this episode, Mridula also mentioned her mother-in-law and said, ‘My mother-in-law has not accepted me till date, for the reasons I mentioned above. You’re still worried about this interaction, but what can we do now?
