The Mirzapur actor noted that the character always felt like a “troubled soul to him.” He delved deeper into the layers of the character and said, “Munna was not enjoying his behaviour or what he was doing, according to my interpretation of the character. I could tell there was a lot of emptiness in his life. Everything he did seemed to be for the sake of appearing to be someone to his father. He wanted to make his dad proud. Hence, the famous dialogue, ‘Papa, proud feel honge aap.'”
The Madgaon Express actor also quipped that playing the character had brought about changes in day-to-day behaviour. “My wife may have mentioned a few instances in which I began to behave in a particular manner in certain situations. She noticed a change in my trigger points. I was getting triggered in a specific way. I always believe that when you stop playing a character, you realise how much it affects you in real life. It works like ear pressure. Munna Tripathi’s role had an impact on me. It was special in some ways, but I don’t think it should be overly romanticised,” he added.
