Pankaj Tripathi was recently invited as the Guest of Honour for the annual India Day Parade in New York, where he posed with fans for pictures as he believes that an actor’s real success lies in the love and respect of the audiences.

Due to safety protocols and security reasons, the area was barricaded, limiting the interaction between the acclaimed actor and his fans. However, that did not stop Tripathi, who leaned down on the floor to pose for selfies with those behind the barricades, ensuring that as many people as possible could capture a moment.
