Mahua Moitra confesses she loves Pankaj Tripathi
In a conversation with India today, Mahua talked about her favourite films from Bollywood. "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."
When asked what she wrote in the note, Mahua replied, “I said I am a big fan and I would love to meet you for a coffee. But apparently, he stays in Alibagh, and he 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 is such a fan that she also asked fellow MP-actor Ravi Kishan for an interaction. Ravi facilitated a telephone conversation with Pankaj, and Mohua admits she was so shy that she couldn't remember that she actually sent him a note.
