Pankaj Tripathi on daughter Aashi\u2019s acting debut<\/p>\n<p>Lailaaj has been produced by Pankaj and Mridula Tripathi\u2019s banner, Roopkatha Rangmanch, as their first play. The first shows were staged in November in Mumbai and received acclaim. Pankaj said on the sidelines that he watched the performances \u2018as an actor, and not as a father\u2019. When asked how Aashi took the feedback, he tells us, \u201cShe took it very well. By the third show, I saw her improvement, I felt she was sharper than me. When our teachers used to explain all us these things, it would take us one or two years to adopt that. She achieved that miracle in just three shows. This new generation is very sharp, very advanced. But the problems they face are also sharper and very advanced.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although Pankaj says Aashi has not decided if she wants to pursue acting as a career, he is fully supportive of the choice if she does. He says, \u201cI will let her find her way. I know the difficulties that lie on this path. Either I can scare her now, or I can give her the freedom to do her thing her way. Not just my daughter, I think this freedom should be given to all kids. Tell them to do what they want, and even if they fail, it\u2019s no big deal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> Pankaj Tripathi\u2019s upcoming films<\/p>\n<p>Pankaj Tripathi was last seen on the big screen in Anurag Basu\u2019s romantic drama Metro\u2026In Dino opposite Konkona Sen Sharma.
