The sad news of Pandit Banaras Tiwari's death was confirmed in a heartfelt message from Pankaj Tripathi and his family. He had a full life that lasted almost a hundred years, and he will be put to rest with close family members. Pankaj Tripathi is currently on his way to Gopalganj, where he was born, so he can say goodbye to his late father.

In a previous interview, Pankaj Tripathi talked about what his father wanted for him. "My father wanted me to become a doctor," he said. People in my hometown, a village in North Bihar called Gopalganj, only know two jobs: engineer or doctor. My father was a farmer. My town is so far into the woods that there are still no roads that are built properly."

Notably, the star told that his father still doesn't know much about what he has done in the world of acting. Pankaj said, "He isn't very proud of what I've done. My father has no idea what I do in films or how I do it. He hasn't seen what the inside of a movie hall looks like yet. He sees my work when someone shows it to him on their computer or on my new TV, which I just got last week."
