I did not sign any film for a year and I did not announce that I was taking a break." He further said, "I took time to work on myself and recover physically and mentally. So 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 a year?
Although pankaj tripathi has completed minor professional work in the last year such as ad shoots and patchwork for Anurag Basu's 'Metro... In Dinon', he deliberately kept a distance from media interaction and decided not to take up new scripts. He told that he used to keep telling everyone that he did not have time, but that time was actually 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 move forward." He recalled that there was a time when he was counting the days waiting for the project to end. And I thought - this cannot 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 shooting to end, then there is something wrong. That's why I took a break."
