New Delhi: Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Mahua Moitra, known for her fiery and controversial speeches and social media posts, surprised many by confessing her love for Bollywood actor Pankaj Tripathi.
The Lok Sabha MP revealed that she loves the negative roles played by Pankaj and had also sent him a shy note once.
“I watched the Munnabhai series, and I will watch it again. I watched Vicky Donor, and I loved it. I love Pankaj Tripathi. I watched the entire Mirzapur series. I even wrote him a note, which he never replied to, but yes, I wrote him a note. He is my crush. I think he is the coolest actor. I love the mean bad roles he does. I loved him in Mirzapur, even in Gangs of Wasseypur,” Mahua was quoted as saying by India Today.
Asked what she wrote in the note, Mahua shared, “I said I am a big fan and I would love to meet you for coffee. But apparently, he stays in Alibagh, and doesn’t meet anyone for coffee. This happened when KI was being interviewed by an anchor, she said I am going to interview him next, Pankaj Tripathi. So I asked her to give him a note”
Mahua had even asked fellow-MP and actor-turned-politician Ravi Kishan for facilitating a telephonic interaction with Pankaj.
Pankaj was recently seen in Anurag Basu’s ‘Metro…In Dino’ along with Konkana Sen Sharma.
He impressed viewers with his role as advocate Madhav Mishra in ‘Criminal Justice season 3’ on JioHotstar.
The actor has ‘Mirzapur: The Film’, ‘Stree 3’, and ‘OMG 2’ lined up in upcoming months.
