From Sannyasis to Screen: Tripathi’s Path to Inner Calm and a Family Comedy

Mumbai, November 10 – While preparing for the release of "Parivarik Manoranjan," a comedy‑drama slated for an OTT launch on SonyLIV, actor Pankaj Tripathi reflected on his spiritual discipline that underpins his public life.

Tripathi revealed that he has gained control over outward displays of anger, stating, "I do not vent my frustration on anyone, and lately I have stopped getting angry altogether." He added that any fleeting feeling of anger dissipates within seconds, a sign of the control he has cultivated.

Nevertheless, the performer confessed that mastering the deeper skill of not allowing any emotion to dominate his inner world is still a work in progress. "I am a sannyasi who remains connected to external matters," he said. "My ultimate task is internal practice, which is the last phase of my journey."

He also acknowledged that emotions such as greed, desire, work‑related stress, violence and non‑violence are innate to all humans, and he is actively working on harmonizing them.

The film’s narrative centers on Tripathi’s character, whose routine life is upended when house help played by Aditi Rao Hydari arrives, sparking comedy, confusion and a series of thrilling incidents. The supporting cast features Brijendra Kala, Ekivaly Chaudhary and Karan Chananah. Varun V. Sharma directs, while production is handled by Bhanushali Studios Ltd and AEZ Films. "Parivarik Manoranjan" will be streamed on SonyLIV from November 13, 2026.
