Pankaj Tripathi shoots in minimal clothing, says it's not for sensationalism
Actor Pankaj Tripathi, known for his powerful performances, is set to surprise fans with a daring new avatar in the upcoming film, 'Metro In Dino'. In a never-seen-before move, the actor shot a scene wearing minimal clothing in a public space. This is a bold choice that he says was essential for the story.Speaking to Hindustan Times, Tripathi shared, 'It was a great scene, shot in a real location, and I did it for the first time. I was performing in a way where the clothing was minimal, but it was necessary for the role. It wasn't for sensationalism; it was an important part of the film's story.'advertisementTo add realism to the sequence, the filmmakers used hidden cameras to capture genuine reactions from people around him. 'That sequence is a turning point. We didn't even know when the shot started. Some of the crowd reactions captured were genuine. I was a bit nervous, but without this experiment, the storytelling wouldn't be complete. I even ran for a few days in preparation,' he added.
The film's trailer shows a glimpse of the scene, Pankaj almost nude, with only socks on his feet and fabric covering his private parts, sprinting across a busy road. This scene comes along with shots of his character using a dating app and having arguments with his on-screen wife, played by Konkona Sen Sharma.

Meet Nandita Mahtani: Sunjay Kapur's first wife, Ranbir Kapoor's crush, and Virat Kohli's stylist
The sudden death of businessman Sunjay Kapur has shocked many in both the corporate world and showbiz. The 53-year-old passed away in England after suffering a heart attack during a polo match, reportedly after accidentally swallowing a bee. Known for his high-profile marriages. While his relationships with actress Karisma Kapoor and model Priya Sachdev are well-known, many may not remember that his first wife was fashion designer and socialite Nandita Mahtani. Nandita Mahtani: Sunjay Kapur's frst wife In 1996, Sunjay Kapur married Nandita Mahtani, a well-known socialite from Delhi. Nandita comes from a business family. Her brother Bharat Mahtani is a businessman, and his wedding back in 2010 was attended by Bollywood stars like Abhishek Bachchan , Aishwarya Rai and Karan Johar . Her sister Anu is married to billionaire Sanjay Hinduja. Nandita and Sunjay's marriage lasted four years. The couple split in 2000 when their divorce was finalised. This was before Sunjay's much-publicised second marriage to actress Karisma Kapoor. A known name in fashion Nandita is more than just a socialite. She is a popular fashion designer in Mumbai and has worked with several celebrities. Since 2012, she has styled many Bollywood stars, but one of her most famous clients is cricketer Virat Kohli . Speaking about him in a 2019 interview with ET Panache, Nandita said, 'Virat has an impeccable style, which stems from his inherent strong personality. He prefers a sporty casual look, but he does enjoy an occasional dress up. His style is mostly refined and minimalistic.' Her stylish and elegant choices have made her a favourite in the fashion world, both in films and sports. A glimpse into her love life Apart from her work, Nandita's love life has often been in the spotlight. As per Hindustan Times, in the early 2000s, she was in a relationship with actor Dino Morea . The two also co-founded a fashion brand called Playground together. Later, Nandita was briefly linked to actor Ranbir Kapoor , who is Karisma Kapoor's cousin. In a 2017 interview with The Quint, Ranbir had shared, 'All I can say is that while growing up, I was infatuated with her. I found her beautiful, simple and warm, so unlike the socialite she is made out to be. We went out for dinners, it was nothing serious. Mum knew I had a crush on her.' In 2017, Nandita got engaged to actor Vidyut Jammwal. The couple made their relationship public on Instagram with dreamy photos from a proposal at the Taj Mahal. But things didn't last, and the two later went their separate ways. Sunjay Kapur's life after Nandita After his divorce from Nandita, Sunjay married Karisma Kapoor in 2003. The couple had two children together — a daughter, Samaira, born on 11 March 2005, and a son, Kiaan, born on 12 March 2011. In 2014, they filed for divorce, which was finalised in 2016. Sunjay later married Priya Sachdev in 2017. The couple has a son named Azarias. Did a Bee Sting Trigger Sunjay Kapur's Fatal Heart Attack?
