Criminal Justice Season 4: Pankaj Tripathi's ‘little pep talk' was all Barkha Singh needed after doubting her performance, find out what he said
The fourth season of the highly popular OTT series Criminal Justice is set to be released in a few days. It is called Criminal Justice - A Family Matter. Pankaj Tripathi will be reprising his role as lawyer Madhav Mishra. Barkha Singh will also be seen in a significant part. The actress recently revealed how she doubted her performance during a scene, and all she needed was a pep talk from Tripathi.
As per Jagran, Barkha Singh recently recalled an important piece of advice that she received from Pankaj Tripathi during the shooting of Criminal Justice Season 4. She said that working with experienced people in the industry had clear benefits. Then, the actress remembered a moment from the initial days of the shoot. She revealed that it was an important and technical scene when she wasn't happy with her performance. She felt that a different approach might have worked better.
Barkha further shared that she was a bit upset by the time they finished shooting because it was too late to ask for another take. She mentioned that it was the first time she had ever felt that way after a scene. However, Pankaj Tripathi came to her rescue.
Barkha stated, 'Pankaj Sir sensed it and said, 'Yeh sab hota rehta hai, bade bade actor ke saath bhi hota hai… Yeh udaasi set pe hi chhod kar jaana, ghar pe mat leke jana. Kal aana aur macha dena (All this keeps happening; it happens with even big actors… Leave this sadness on the set; don't take it home. Come tomorrow and create havoc)!' And that little pep talk was all I needed to feel better.'
Alongside Pankaj Tripathi and Barkha Singh, the cast of Criminal Justice 4 includes Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Surveen Chawla, Mita Vasisht, Asha Negi, Shweta Basu Prasad, and Khushboo Atre.

Surveen Chawla shares her experience working with Pankaj Tripathi in Criminal Justice: A Family Matter: 'He is a walking, talking school of cinema' -Exclusive
Surveen Chawla shared insights about 'Criminal Justice: A Family Matter'. She plays Anju Nagpal, the emotional core of the show. Surveen was drawn to the depth of her character. She praised the cast, including Pankaj Tripathi, for their talent and collaboration. The set had a fun atmosphere despite the show's serious tone. She also appreciated director Rohan Sippy's calm direction. In an exclusive interview with ETimes, Surveen Chawla talked about her role in Criminal Justice: A Family Matter, the show's gripping family drama, and her experience working with Pankaj Tripathi . She shared what attracted her to the character and gives a glimpse of the fun and energy behind the intense courtroom scenes. Excerpts... Criminal Justice: A Family Matter has been receiving positive reviews. Tell us something about it. I think it lives up to the legacy of the franchise built over the last three seasons. This time, it's a bit different because it's a family matter in the literal sense. Everyone is involved as a family unit. The story revolves around an estranged wife, a doctor husband, and a girlfriend—who, of course, ends up murdered. It's a great watch that will keep you on the edge of your seat and guessing. I know many viewers are upset about not being able to binge-watch the show, but that's the model the platform has chosen for this series, and it's doing great numbers. How did you prepare for this role, and what drew you to this complex character? For me, Anju Nagpal—my character—is the emotional core, the epicenter of the show. She's calm and composed, even in the middle of a storm, but she keeps everything suppressed inside. What drew me to the role was all this depth and more, which I can't reveal right now. Beyond the character, the entire team was a huge draw—with fantastic actors like Pankaj ji, Zeeshan, Shweta, Meeta ji, Barkha, and even Ira, who plays my daughter. Everyone was amazing. The cast and the director really matter to me. I'd wanted to work with Rohan for a long time, and when I finally got the chance, I knew I had to take it. Sometimes a project looks great on paper, but without a strong, capable team to support it, execution can suffer. For me, that's a key factor in deciding to do a project. This one had all the right ingredients to make a great 'dish,' and that's exactly what it turned out to be. Working alongside Pankaj Tripathi and other talented actors must be enriching. Can you share an experience from the set that stood out to you? I can't really single out one experience because every scene we did together was special. There's a quiet chemistry between Zeeshan and me, even though it's from the past—the history is there, and you can see the lingering effect. Pankaj ji, to me, is a walking, talking school of cinema. What more can I say? We're all huge fans of his, and working with him was incredible. Sharing the screen with him brings so much energy to the scene. The collaboration on set is constant but very subtle—not in-your-face. He comes to work without the weight of his reputation, which is an amazing quality. His simplicity and no-nonsense approach are truly inspiring. Overall, it was wonderful working with every member of the cast. Even though some of us didn't share many scenes, the days we did shoot together were great. With Rohan's calm and composure directing us, every courtroom scene felt almost like a party—we'd be binging on food and snacks. So, while the show looks very serious on screen, behind the camera, it was all fun and laughter. Check out our list of the latest Hindi , English , Tamil , Telugu , Malayalam , and Kannada movies .
