Known for his deep love for travel and the rich cultural diversity of India, Tripathi’s appointment is expected to help highlight the state’s stunning natural beauty and historic landmarks. The actor has had a long-standing connection with Madhya Pradesh, having filmed several major movies like Stree (2018), Ludo (2020), OMG 2 (2023), and Stree 2 (2024) in various parts of the state. This experience has helped him form a strong emotional and professional bond with Madhya Pradesh, which he now calls a second home.
In his new role, Pankaj aims to showcase the state’s remarkable landscapes, from its UNESCO World Heritage sites like the Khajuraho temples to the majestic forts of Gwalior, as well as its famous wildlife sanctuaries. Madhya Pradesh, often referred to as the heart of India, is renowned for its diverse attractions—whether it’s the serene wildlife in Kanha National Park or the architectural marvels scattered across the state.
With his immense popularity, especially from his role as Kaleen Bhaiya in the hit series Mirzapur, Pankaj is expected to play a significant role in promoting Madhya Pradesh to both domestic and international tourists. His involvement is likely to inspire more people to visit the state, thereby boosting local tourism and economy. For Tripathi, this position not only allows him to share his love for the state but also to introduce others to the untold stories and hidden gems of Madhya Pradesh.
