Pankaj Tripathi’s sister, Sarita Tiwari, and her husband, Rajesh Tiwari, were in a road accident near GT Road in Nirsa around 4 PM on Saturday. Sadly, Rajesh Tiwari passed away, while Sarita Tiwari sustained serious injuries and is currently being treated at the SNCU of Dhanbad Medical College Hospital. Rajesh Tiwari and his wife Sarita Tiwari were traveling from Kamalpur in Gopalganj, Bihar, to Chittaranjan, West Bengal. Their car (WB44D-2899) crashed into a divider near Nirsa Market Chowk. Rajesh Tiwari was pronounced dead upon arrival at Dhanbad Medical College Hospital, while Sarita Tiwari is in critical condition and receiving treatment in the surgical ICU.
Rajesh Tiwari, Pankaj Tripathi’s brother-in-law, was employed by the Indian Railways and stationed in Chittaranjan. Family members stated that he was traveling back to Chittaranjan from his village when the accident occurred, leading to his unfortunate demise.
In August 2023, the actor lost his father. An official statement from the family was released and it read, “It’s with a heavy heart to confirm that Pankaj Tripathi’s father, Pandit Banaras Tiwari is no more. He lived a wholesome life of 99 years. His last rites will be performed today amongst his close family. Pankaj Tripathi is currently on his way to his village in Gopalganj.” His father was 99. Since then, Pankaj Tripathi had dedicated his big National Award win to him and also opened a library in his village high school, as a token of remembrance for him.
When the actor won the National Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in Mimi, the actor had issued a statement, along with declaring that the award was dedicated to his father. The statement read, “This is unfortunately a period of loss and grieving for me. If Babuji was around, he would have been really happy for me. When I first got the National Award mention, he was very proud and pleased. This National Award I dedicate to him and his spirit. I’m who I’m today because of him. I’m in a loss of words due to this time but I’m happy and grateful to the team. Kriti also has won the Best Actress, so a huge congratulations to her.”
Pankaj Tripathi was last seen in Murder Mubarak, directed by Homi Adajania. The Netflix film was released on March 15.
