Pankaj Tripathi is all geared up for his next release Kadak Singh on December 8. In the film, he plays AK Shrivastav, who is suffering from retrograde amnesia. He regularly keeps forgetting things and uncovers a web of conflicting narratives from his past.
In a recent interview with India TV, Pankaj Tripathi was asked whether he has met someone in real life, who is suffering from this disease. In reply, the actor said, ”Not exactly retrograde amnesia but yeah I have met one. My father had dementia in his last days, so he used to forget things sometimes. He used to ask me whether I was married or not. In one of my films, I have experienced this. So this disease of forgetting things or such conditions, everyone in life experiences at some point in time.”
He concluded by saying that Kadak Singh is a very interesting and layered film.
