Pankaj Tripathi and his family are currently grieving. Last week, the actor’s brother-in-law, Rajesh Tiwari, passed away in a tragic car accident. His wife and Pankaj’s sister, Sabita Tiwari, who was also present in the car, were heavily injured but are currently out of danger. Amid all of this, the Mirzapur actor is reportedly prioritizing his family and spending time with them.

Were Pankaj Tripathi’s sister and brother-in-law on their way to watch his shooting?

Refuting all these rumors, a source close to HT City revealed that the actor was in his village when this unfortunate incident occurred, and the family is in shock. The source added, “However, they are trying to cope with the tragedy. Tripathi was on a break from his work. He was in his village and not shooting for anything. Now, he is using the time at hand to heal from the loss and spending time with his family members.”

Pankaj will reportedly be returning to Mumbai in the first week of May and will begin the shooting of his upcoming film. The big title in his hand currently is Anurag Basu’s next and fourth installment of the hit show Criminal Justice.

While detailing the incident, ANI cited the car losing control as the cause of the mishap. Rajesh, who was driving the car in an attempt to avoid an auto crash, subsequently lost control of the vehicle, which made it climb onto a three-foot-high divider. Rajesh and Sabita were immediately rushed to Shahid Nirmal Mahto Medical College Hospital (SNMMCH) in Dhanbad.

It was last year that Pankaj Tripathi’s father passed away at the age of 99 due to age-related issues.
