  • Pankaj Tripathi celebrated Basant Panchami with Roopkatha Rangmanch group.
  • He shared wishes and photos from Saraswati Puja, emphasizing its significance.
  • Tripathi returns as Kaleen Bhaiya in Mirzapur: The Film, releasing in 2026.

Veteran actor Pankaj Tripathi extended heartfelt wishes on the auspicious occasion of Basant Panchami — a festival dedicated to Goddess Saraswati, the Hindu deity of wisdom, knowledge, music and the arts. Taking to social media, Tripathi posted pictures from the celebrations alongside members of Roopkatha Rangmanch, the theatre group he co-founded with his wife Mridula Tripathi. In his message, the Mirzapur star invoked the blessings of the goddess and sent warm greetings to his followers and well-wishers across India.

In his caption written in Hindi, Tripathi emphasised the significance of Saraswati — who represents vidya, buddhi (intellect), and kala (arts and music) — and wished everyone a joyous Basant Panchami, adding “विद्या, बुद्धि एवं  कला संगीत की अधिष्ठात्री देवी माँ सरस्वती की आराधना के पावन पर्व ‘बसंत पंचमी’ की सभी सम्मानित महानुभावों को बहुत-बहुत हार्दिक बधाई एवं शुभकामनाएँ । जय माँ शारदे! रूपकथा मंडली ।”

The shared images show Tripathi, Roopkatha Rangmanch collaborators, and devotees gathered together, symbolising gratitude and reverence as they partake in the Saraswati Puja rituals. Many people observe Basant Panchami by wearing yellow garments — a colour associated with spring, optimism, and the goddess’s blessings — and offering prayers, flowers, books, and musical instruments at home or in community spaces.

Across India, Saraswati Puja celebrations have taken place with devotion and enthusiasm, from students and educational institutions to cultural groups organising festivities and artistic performances.

On the work front, Pankaj Tripathi was last seen in the sequel Metro… In Dino, where he played a key role alongside an ensemble cast. He also continues to be widely recognised for his performance as Madhav Mishra in the legal drama Criminal Justice, which returned with its fourth season streaming on Jio Hotstar from May 22, 2025. Looking ahead, Tripathi is set to reprise one of his most iconic characters, Kaleen Bhaiya, in Mirzapur: The Film, the big-screen expansion of the hit Prime Video series Mirzapur that’s scheduled for a theatrical release in 2026.
