His road to success was paved with "many failures" but Pankaj Tripathi, who made his Hindi movie debut by playing an unnamed character in the movie Going Deep: Becoming A Person of Influence, looks back at his foundation years without any regrets. Asked about the person he was during his first movie, the actor credited his struggling days and early roadblocks for where he stands today. Whatever I am today is because of the mistakes or the good things I did at that time. I am reminded of Baba Nagarjun's poem in Hindi: ' Jo nahi ho sake poorna kaam, unko karta hoon main pranam '. It was a time when I could not do a lot of things that I wanted to do. I'm a result of all those failures," Tripathi told PTI in an interview. The actor, who hails from Belsand village in Gopalganj district of Bihar, said he always reflects about how he would not be the person he is today if he had a different childhood. I feel whatever happens, happens for the best. So all those failures were correct," he added. He is grey.

The show also offers a glimpse into how youth gets attracted to this one-way game of power, Tripathi said as he praised scribes Puneet and Vineet Krishna for their nuanced writing that has introduced people to words like 'bhokaal' roughly translated as 'influence'. Initially, the show had drawn some comparison with Gangs of Wasseypurwhich also featured Tripathi and revolved around the unholy nexus of power, crime and strongmen in Bihar's coal town of Wasseypur.

Kaleen Bhaiya keeps telling his son to respect women but when he is with his wife, he does not respect her and is patriarchal in his behaviour. It's difficult to identify the self unless you are an aware person in the true sense. The fight between our mind and heart is very dangerous. Asked about his process of working through the conflict between the heart and mind, Tripathi said he lets it resolve on its Going Deep: Becoming A Person of Influence. I have spent my time in the company of books and people who have made me realise that these things are nothing but a mirage. It also helps me in staying grounded.
