As HT City commemorates its 25th anniversary, actor Pankaj Tripathi reminisces about his own 25-year journey in theatre, tracing back to his early days performing at the National School of Drama's (NSD) Bharat Rang Mahotsav (BRM) debut edition in Delhi.

Tripathi fondly recalls his humble beginnings, where he first encountered HT City in the NSD library, marking the simultaneous growth of his theatrical career alongside the publication's milestone. Now appointed as the official Rang Doot (brand ambassador) for this year's BRM, Tripathi expresses his excitement at the opportunity to promote theatre alongside his alma mater.

Despite his thriving film career, Tripathi remains committed to supporting theatre, recognizing its unique ability to captivate audiences with live performances. Emphasizing the importance of experiencing theatre firsthand, he encourages people to step away from screens and embrace the enriching experience of live productions. Tripathi eagerly anticipates his return to the stage after a hiatus, eager to reconnect with the electrifying energy of live performances and inspire new audiences to appreciate the art form.
