Mahua Moitra Confesses To Having A Huge Crush On Mirzapurs Kaleen Bhaiya Aka Pankaj Tripathi
Mahua Moitra's Huge Crush
Mahua said, "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. 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 A Coffee Date With Pankaj Tripathi
On being asked what she wrote in a note, Mahua replied, "I said I am a big fan and I would love to meet you for a coffee. But apparently, he stays in Alibaug, and he doesn't meet anyone for coffee. This happened when KI was being interviewed by an anchor, she said I am going to interview him next, Pankaj Tripathi. So I asked her to give him a note."
In fact, she even asked fellow MP-actor Ravi Kishan to facilitate a telephone conversation with Pankaj, and Mohua admits she was so shy while talking to him that she forgot about having sent him a note as well. 'I was so excited, but I barely spoke,' she added.
Pankaj Tripathi was last seen in 'Metro...In Dino' by Anurag Basu, opposite Konkana Sen.
Meanwhile, Mahua Moitra and Biju Janata Dal (BJD) leader Pinaki Misra got married in Berlin on May 30, 2025.
