Debate between Pankaj Tripathi and wife regarding use of plastic and installation of AC: The biggest fights…
Pankaj Tripathi’s wife Mridula Tripathi reveals her simple lifestyle, unaffected by his stardom. He also shared how the couple often argues over household matters like plastic use and AC installation.

Actor Pankaj Tripathi’s wife Mridula Tripathi shared details about her simple lifestyle despite her rising fame. He stressed that his way of life remains unchanged, pointing out that he still does not have a microwave. Mridula revealed that they often argue over basic things, such as buying plastic boxes, and she feels comfortable calling him on the set to ask where things are at home.
In an interview with YouTuber Atul Taishete, Mridula recalled her early days in Mumbai when she was the primary earner, while Pankaj was still establishing his career. It was decided with mutual consent that she would support the family financially. Later when Pankaj started working, he primarily took care of his daughter, although he was always supportive. She noted that he always answers her calls, even when he is preparing for a shot, and calls back when it is time. He humorously said that his questions often related to mundane household matters.
Mridula said stardom has not changed Pankaj, who still likes to wear khadi clothes. She mentioned how he sometimes jokes about being a star and deserving respect, to which she responds with a stern look. However, there is significant disagreement between them regarding the use of plastic, as Pankaj is environmentally conscious and recommends not buying plastic containers. Mridula expressed her frustration, saying that she needed the containers to run the household and that these arguments were among the ‘happiest moments’ of her life.
“He doesn’t know how to run a household; we can’t live on just one kind of dal and some rice. We need containers! There will be massive fights between us to buy plastic containers. These are the happiest days of my life.” There were moments,” she said.
He also revealed that he still does not have a microwave, as Pankaj believes that they emit harmful waves, so he heats food on the stove. Additionally, there was a dispute between them regarding the installation of an air conditioner in their bungalow due to humidity, but they eventually agreed to it.
“We still don’t have microwaves. Can you believe it? They believe they emit harmful waves. If we have to heat food, we do it on the stove. There is no microwave. We have fought on installing air conditioner in our house in the city, so there was never any major problem, but one day he was sitting quietly and sweating. , and then I said to him, ‘You want to get that AC now?’ And he agreed,” she said.
Mridula now works as Pankaj’s manager, a role she has learned through experience. The couple, married since 2004, have a daughter. Pankaj was last seen in the film Stree 2, starring Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor.
