Barkha Singh recalls Pankaj Tripathi’s advice on sets of 'Criminal Justice 4': 'Tumhaare saath voh hua jo har actor...'

Barkha Singh, known for her fun roles in web series, is now playing a serious lawyer named Shivani Madhur in 'Criminal Justice 4'. She talked about moving away from romantic roles and focusing on learning about the law for this part. Barkha also enjoyed working with stars Madhuri Dixit and Pankaj Tripathi. She trusts her instincts as her career changes and shares how she is growing from web series to more serious acting, with exciting plans ahead.

Working with Pankaj Tripathi

In an interview with Money Control, Barkha spoke about her experience working with Pankaj Tripathi, calling him "a gem of a person" and "a lot of fun." She explained that it took a couple of days to get used to working together, but he was friendly from day one, likely because he had also worked his way up in the industry. During the shoot of a murder scene, Barkha realized late that she could have performed a part differently, but it was too late to request a reshoot. Noticing her concern, Pankaj reassured her, saying, "tumhaare saath voh hua jo har actor ke saath hota hai," meaning that every actor experiences this. He advised her not to take the mistake home and reminded her that while she knew she could have done it another way, the audience wouldn’t notice, and if the scene wasn’t convincing, the director wouldn’t have approved it. This advice helped Barkha stay confident and focused during the shoot.
