Sony Entertainment Television’s Kaun Banega Crorepati 13 is all set to welcome the very talented and versatile actors Pankaj Tripathi and Pratik Gandhi for the Shaandaar Shukravaar episode this Friday. With their humble personalities, strong performances and off-the-hook characters, they have won people’s hearts. We’ve all known Pankaj Tripathi essaying different characters such as ‘Kaleen Bhaiya’, ‘Sattu’ and ‘Bhanupratap’ on screen, but did you know one character that he’s not famous for?
In the show, Pankaj Tripathi reveals that he’s a professional cook, much to the surprise of everyone, and goes on to add that he holds a degree as well. Elaborating on this revelation, Pankaj Tripathi shares, “Yes, I do cook. I was a professional cook as well for a couple of days at a hotel. It was at a hotel in Patna. I had taken up training from the Food Craft Institute of India. There is a two-year course of Food Preparation and Production Technology where you learn about food hygiene. It is basically training to be a chef. Now IHM does it, FCI doesn’t do it anymore. So, I did the course and worked at a hotel in Patna for two years. I used to do night duties there so that in the morning I could do theatre rehearsals.”
Several promos of the episode have been released by the channel.
Looks like Pankaj Tripathi has many more tricks up his sleeves than just acting. He and Pratik Gandhi will also be seen sharing various experiences and personal anecdotes while they take charge of the hotseat and then play the game along with the host of the show, Amitabh Bachchan.
Pankaj Tripathi and Pratik Gandhi will play the game for the social causes they support. The proceeds from the winning amount will be donated to Pandit Benaras Tiwari Hemanvanti Devi Foundation and Mukul Trust, respectively.
