Mahua Moitra Confesses To Having A Huge Crush On Mirzapurs Kaleen Bhaiya Aka Pankaj Tripathi
Mahua Moitra's Huge Crush
Mahua said, "I watched the Munnabhai series, and I will watch it again. I watched Vicky Donor, and I loved it. I love Pankaj Tripathi. I watched the entire Mirzapur series. I even wrote him a note, which he never replied to, but yes, I wrote him a note. He is my crush. I think he is the coolest actor. I love the mean bad roles he does. I loved him in Mirzapur, even in Gangs of Wasseypur."
On A Coffee Date With Pankaj Tripathi
On being asked what she wrote in a note, Mahua replied, "I said I am a big fan and I would love to meet you for a coffee. But apparently, he stays in Alibaug, and he doesn't meet anyone for coffee. This happened when KI was being interviewed by an anchor, she said I am going to interview him next, Pankaj Tripathi. So I asked her to give him a note."
In fact, she even asked fellow MP-actor Ravi Kishan to facilitate a telephone conversation with Pankaj, and Mohua admits she was so shy while talking to him that she forgot about having sent him a note as well. 'I was so excited, but I barely spoke,' she added.
Pankaj Tripathi was last seen in 'Metro...In Dino' by Anurag Basu, opposite Konkana Sen.
Meanwhile, Mahua Moitra and Biju Janata Dal (BJD) leader Pinaki Misra got married in Berlin on May 30, 2025.

Mahua Moitra recalls the time when she sent a 'love note' to Mirzapur's 'Kaleen Bhaiya'; here's what happened next
Agencies TMC MP Mahua Moitra Politicians aren't immune to celebrity crushes—and Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra just offered proof. In a refreshingly candid interview, Moitra admitted she has long admired actor Pankaj Tripathi, so much so that she once wrote him a note asking him out for coffee. Speaking to India Today, the outspoken parliamentarian shared her fondness for Bollywood and named films like Vicky Donor and the Munnabhai series among her favourites. But it was Tripathi, best known for playing the menacing yet charismatic Kaleen Bhaiya in Amazon Prime Video's hit series Mirzapur, who she called her 'crush'. 'I'm a big fan of Pankaj Tripathi,' she said, adding, 'I wrote him a note and asked for coffee.'As she recounted, the note was passed to Tripathi via a TV anchor who was scheduled to interview him. But the meeting never materialised. 'He never responded,' Moitra said with a laugh, suggesting that perhaps the actor—who lives in Alibaug—is 'not the kind of guy who meets people for coffee.' The MP said her admiration for Tripathi didn't end there. She even turned to fellow Lok Sabha MP and Bhojpuri actor Ravi Kishan for help. 'I asked Ravi Kishan to make me talk to him. Ravi arranged a phone call,' she recalled. But when the call finally happened, she was too starstruck to say much. 'I was so shy that I forgot I'd even written him a note!' Pankaj Tripathi, known for his nuanced performances in critically acclaimed films like Newton, Stree, Mimi, and Masaan, has become one of India's most respected and versatile actors. His portrayal of Kaleen Bhaiya—a ruthless kingpin with a calm demeanour—in Mirzapur earned him cult status and a fan base that clearly includes admirers in the highest political the coffee never happened, Moitra's fangirl moment has certainly added a charming footnote to the actor's ever-growing legacy—and reminded many that behind the sharp political speeches are people with relatable soft spots.
