Actor Pankaj Tripathi has garnered massive fame in last few years with his multiple amazing performances. Despite being one of the most popular stars of our times, Pankaj always stays connected to his roots. He remembers his origins and takes pride in where he comes from. The actor had humble beginnings and now he uses his position and approach to raise awareness about common problems in his hometown.

Recently during an event, he urged rural dwellers of Bihar to take part in Panchayat elections. "Panchayat elections is one great example of basic democracy and that everyone should participate in the upcoming elections for their own betterment," he said. Pankaj was approached by Bihar State Election Commission to spread awareness about elections and he instantly gave his approval.

Describing the importance of election for a common man, Pankaj said, "The beauty of the Panchayat elections lies in the fact that the contestants are from the village itself so it makes it easier for the villagers to know their candidates thoroughly. The Election Commission has introduced modern techniques such as biometrics and EVMs to standardise the process of elections."
