Politician Mahua Moitra: 'I have a crush on Pankaj Tripathi, Ravi Kishan always cracks me up'

She added, 'He is my crush. I think he is the coolest actor. I love the mean bad roles he does. I loved him in Mirzapur, even in Gangs of Wasseypur.' read more Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra recently revealed in an interview that she has a crush on Bollywood actor Pankaj Tripathi, and also spoke about actor-politician Ravi Kishan. While speaking to India Today, the politician revealed, 'I watched the Munnabhai series, and I will watch it again. I watched Vicky Donor, and I loved it. I love Pankaj Tripathi. I watched the entire Mirzapur series. I even wrote him a note, which he never replied to, but yes, I wrote him a note.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD She added, 'He is my crush. I think he is the coolest actor. I love the mean bad roles he does. I loved him in Mirzapur, even in Gangs of Wasseypur.' On Ravi Kishan 'I asked Ravi for an interaction,' she revealed. 'He actually made me speak to him on the phone. But I was so shy, I forgot I even sent him a note!' What she wrote in the note I said I am a big fan and I would love to meet you for a coffee. But apparently, he stays in Alibagh, and he doesn't meet anyone for coffee. This happened when I was being interviewed by an anchor. She said, 'I'm going to interview him next — Pankaj Tripathi.' So I asked her to give him a note. In an interview with Hindustan Times, Tripathi spoke about the franchise and revealed, 'During Stree, the producers had told me that if Stree works really well, they will give me a bonus. That amount was crossed in four days for the first part. I didn't even know when the makers had put that same clause in my contract for Stree 2 too, as for (producer) Dinesh Vijan films I never read the agreement. And the figure for the sequel was crossed in just two days.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD

Mahua Moitra recalls the time when she sent a 'love note' to Mirzapur's 'Kaleen Bhaiya'; here's what happened next

Agencies TMC MP Mahua Moitra Politicians aren't immune to celebrity crushes—and Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra just offered proof. In a refreshingly candid interview, Moitra admitted she has long admired actor Pankaj Tripathi, so much so that she once wrote him a note asking him out for coffee. Speaking to India Today, the outspoken parliamentarian shared her fondness for Bollywood and named films like Vicky Donor and the Munnabhai series among her favourites. But it was Tripathi, best known for playing the menacing yet charismatic Kaleen Bhaiya in Amazon Prime Video's hit series Mirzapur, who she called her 'crush'. 'I'm a big fan of Pankaj Tripathi,' she said, adding, 'I wrote him a note and asked for coffee.'As she recounted, the note was passed to Tripathi via a TV anchor who was scheduled to interview him. But the meeting never materialised. 'He never responded,' Moitra said with a laugh, suggesting that perhaps the actor—who lives in Alibaug—is 'not the kind of guy who meets people for coffee.' The MP said her admiration for Tripathi didn't end there. She even turned to fellow Lok Sabha MP and Bhojpuri actor Ravi Kishan for help. 'I asked Ravi Kishan to make me talk to him. Ravi arranged a phone call,' she recalled. But when the call finally happened, she was too starstruck to say much. 'I was so shy that I forgot I'd even written him a note!' Pankaj Tripathi, known for his nuanced performances in critically acclaimed films like Newton, Stree, Mimi, and Masaan, has become one of India's most respected and versatile actors. His portrayal of Kaleen Bhaiya—a ruthless kingpin with a calm demeanour—in Mirzapur earned him cult status and a fan base that clearly includes admirers in the highest political the coffee never happened, Moitra's fangirl moment has certainly added a charming footnote to the actor's ever-growing legacy—and reminded many that behind the sharp political speeches are people with relatable soft spots.
