Greetings my dear Bollywood aficionados! Itâs your favorite Bollywood snoop, Bollywood Newshound Nisha, here to spill the piping hot chai on Tinseltownâs latest! Buckle up, because today weâre diving deep into the world of Pankaj Jha and his oh-so-juicy opinions on the late, great Irrfan Khan.
Pankaj Jha Calls Out Bollywood! đŹđľď¸ââď¸
Oh, Pankaj Jha, where do we even start? This manâs been everywhere â films, TV, web series, you name it. And now, heâs out here throwing shade at Bollywood for being fashionably late to recognize the brilliance of Irrfan Khan. In a recent chit-chat with The Indian Express, Jha didnât hold back. He called out the industry for sleeping on Irrfanâs talent for way too long.
P.S. If you missed his spicy remarks about Anurag Kashyap replacing him with Pankaj Tripathi in Gangs of Wasseypur, youâre seriously missing out on some prime Bollywood drama! đą
Irrfan, The Real Deal đ
Jhaâs admiration for Irrfan Khan is no secret. He believes that todayâs actors are like parrots, mimicking what they see on screen. But not Irrfan. "He was the only real actor in the industry," Jha said, as if heâs the gatekeeper of "real" acting. He went on to lament, "We should question the industry why it takes them so much time to recognize true talents like Irrfan Khan."
Glamourizing Struggle? Oh Please! đ
This isnât the first time Jhaâs had a bone to pick with the industry. Earlier, he went all-in during an interview with Lallantop Cinema, accusing his namesake Pankaj Tripathi of glamourizing âstruggle.â According to Jha, if youâve chosen to follow your passion, you should enjoy the journey, not turn it into a sob story for sympathy points. Potatoes, tiny houses, stolen slippers â Jha thinks itâs all just a tad too dramatic.
Pankaj Jhaâs Rollercoaster Career đ˘
From his breakthrough role in Mira Nairâs Monsoon Wedding to his stints in Company, Haasil, Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi, and even Aap Kaa Surroor (yes, you read that right), Jhaâs resume is as colorful as a Bollywood dance number. Heâs even dipped his toes into TV with shows like 2612 and SuperCops Vs Super Villains. Lately, heâs been making waves in the OTT space with hits like Nirmal Pathak Ki Ghar Wapsi, Panchayat, and SSC.
Speaking of Panchayat, the third season is streaming now on Prime Video India, and Jhaâs portrayal of Vidhayak Ji, aka MLA Chandrakishore âChanduâ Singh, has been turning heads. đĽł
Nishaâs Nutshell đĽ
