Actor Pankaj Tripathi kept his Holi celebrations simple this year — and that is exactly what made them special.

Glimpses shared by his wife, Mridula Tripathi, on social media showed the couple celebrating the festival of colours in a quiet, leafy outdoor setting. The couple was  seen smiling, playing with gulal, and soaking in the moment.

In one particularly tender frame, Pankaj Tripathi is seen gently applying colour to Mridula Tripathi’s cheek as she holds a plate filled with bright powders. The affection between them feels effortless and real.

Pankaj was seen dressed comfortably in a printed kurta and sandals, while Mridula was seen in saree.

Mridula Tripathi captioned the post in Hindi: “हर साल की तरह इस बार भी होली शानदार रही। रंग पर्व की शुभकामनाएं आप सबको” — sharing festive wishes and noting that, like every year, their Holi had been wonderful. She also posted several pictures and videos of herself celebrating with other family members and close friends adding to the warmth of the occasion.

In a recent interview with Moneycontrol, Pankaj Tripathi spoke candidly about why he and Mridula Tripathi returned to theatre and how forming a production group happened organically.

Recalling a defining moment, he shared, “I will tell you an incident: she received a call that Hariprasad Chaurasia ji had arrived to watch our play. She called his family and said, ‘I am the producer of Lailaaj. I have assigned someone to welcome you and I will also be there to receive you.’ After disconnecting the call, she said, ‘Now I have an identity. I am the producer of Lailaaj—not just your wife.” (Phone rakh kar boli ki arrey ab toh meri aik identity hai, main Lailaaj ki producer hoon. Ab meri ek identity bhi hai tumhari biwi hone ke ilawa. Main bola haan. Main Lailaaj ki producer bol rahi hoon aik theatre ki production ki.)

He laughed as he added that Mridula Tripathi now understands the “peeda” (the pain) of being a producer.

Today, Mridula Tripathi is carving her own space as a theatre producer and cultural curator through Roopkatha Rangmanch, championing rooted, literature-led storytelling.
