Pankaj Tripathi is loved by millions for his incredible acting and his simple, down-to-earth personality. But the beloved actor just broke the internet with a look nobody saw coming. On Friday, he posted a few pictures on Instagram that were so unbelievably stylish, they left everyone from fans to fellow actors completely stunned.
The post, which has now gone viral with over 400k likes, shows a side of Pankaj Tripathi we’ve never seen before. He captioned it mysteriously, “एक नई शुरुआत। This is the beginning of something interesting. How’s the ‘vibe’?” Well, the “vibe” is so shocking that fans are asking if the pictures are even real!
Ranveer Singh’s Hilarious Reaction
The most epic comment on the post came from Bollywood’s king of quirky fashion himself, Ranveer Singh. Known for his own bold style, Ranveer couldn’t resist taking a funny dig at Pankaj’s transformation. He wrote, “Arre! Yeh kya, Guruji?! Hum sudhar gaye, aur aap bigad gaye?” (What is this, Guruji?! I have become decent, and you have gone wild?). The comment perfectly captured what everyone was thinking and has gone almost as viral as the post itself.
In the pictures, Pankaj is seen wearing a deep emerald green velvet coat over a black floral shirt and unique red dhoti-style pants. The look is so sharp and different from his usual style that many users commented that they were confused if it was really him or an AI-generated image.
“Kaleen Bhaiya Ne Kaleen Pehen Liya!”
Fans of the hit series Mirzapur had a field day in the comments section. They lovingly teased that the actor’s velvet coat looked like a “kaleen” (carpet), a hilarious reference to his iconic character Akhandanand Tripathi, also known as Kaleen Bhaiya.
One user joked, “Kaleen Bhaiya ne Mirzapur ki kaleen ka prachar kar diya pure world mein.” (Kaleen Bhaiya has promoted Mirzapur’s carpets to the whole world). Another added, “Kaleen Bhaiya, kaleen hi pehen liya kya?” (Kaleen Bhaiya, did you wear a carpet?). It’s clear that no matter how stylish he gets, he will always be the beloved Kaleen Bhaiya for his fans.
