Earlier, in an interview with Pinkvilla, Pankaj talked about winning the National Awards for Best Supporting Actor Award for his film, Mimi. The actor mentioned that his feelings are quite mixed as he recently lost his father. Pankaj also added that it was his father's principles and values that helped him excel in his career as an actor. Adding that his father would have been happy for him as he won the National Awards, Pankaj said:
"The feeling is very mixed. I suffered a huge personal loss in life, my father passed away. He used to be very happy while looking at my journey. His values, ethics, and principles helped me shape up as an actor and an individual. Though he is not here physically, but I can feel him around me and his presence. Today, he would have been really happy. Whatever I have today is all because of his blessings."
