What she wrote in the note

I said I am a big fan and I would love to meet you for a coffee. But apparently, he stays in Alibagh, and he doesn’t meet anyone for coffee.

This happened when I was being interviewed by an anchor. She said, ‘I’m going to interview him next — Pankaj Tripathi.’ So I asked her to give him a note.

In an interview with Hindustan Times, Tripathi spoke about the franchise and revealed, “During Stree, the producers had told me that if Stree works really well, they will give me a bonus. That amount was crossed in four days for the first part. I didn’t even know when the makers had put that same clause in my contract for Stree 2 too, as for (producer) Dinesh Vijan films I never read the agreement. And the figure for the sequel was crossed in just two days.”
