Acclaimed actor Pankaj Tripathi, known for his stellar performances in ‘Mirzapur’, ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’, and ‘Masaan’, is all set to add another feather to his cap as he turns radio host for the first time.

Tripathi will be leading the upcoming third season of BIG FM‘s popular show ‘Dhun Badal Ke Toh Dekho’, which is scheduled to air in the last week of October, IANS reported.

Tripathi’s distinct speech rhythm and vocal texture, often admired in his cinematic roles, will now take center stage as he transitions to the radio format. Sharing his enthusiasm about the new venture, Tripathi said, “I am thrilled to don the hat of a radio host for the first time for BIG FM’s ‘Dhun Badal Ke Toh Dekho’ S3. As an actor, I’ve always believed in the power of screenplay, but as a host, I’m excited to explore the power of storytelling in an audio format.”

‘Dhun Badal Ke Toh Dekho’ has previously featured high-profile hosts like Vidya Balan and Sadhguru, with discussions on topics ranging from societal taboos to mental well-being. In its third season, Tripathi aims to bring a fresh perspective on important issues, encouraging listeners to view the world with a changed mindset.
