That's why I have lost weight. I work out for three hours a day, six days a week. I also traveled, trips that I had been avoiding for a long time."
What was pankaj tripathi doing for the whole year
Although pankaj tripathi has completed small professional works in the last year like ad shoots and patchwork for Anurag Basu's 'Metro... In Dinon'.

He said that he kept telling everyone that he did not have time, but that time was reserved for introspection.
'No longer working for money'
He said, "I have reached a point where I am no longer working for money. I need to do work that gives me something to look forward to." He recalled that there was a time when he was counting days waiting for a project to be over. And I thought - this can't be right. I love this profession. I have made a lot of sacrifices to reach here and if I am spending my days just waiting for the shoot to be over, then there is something wrong. That's why I took a break."
