The first episode wasn’t enough for all the storytelling. It flowed, stretched, and beautifully spilled into a second episode.In Episode 2 of The Slow Interview, Pankaj Tripathi returns to continue his heartfelt, unhurried conversation with Neelesh Misra.This time, he goes even deeper.He opens up about the small-town boy who still lives inside him, the values that anchor him, and the responsibilities he believes every artist carries. He speaks with honesty, humour, and a kind of quiet wisdom that stays with you.And in this part of the conversation, Pankaj reveals something many people don’t know — that he wants to direct a film someday. That storytelling isn’t just something he performs; it’s something he dreams of shaping from behind the camera too.“As actors, we shouldn’t run away from our social duties… doing our work honestly for the nation — that is patriotism.”Episode 2 is a continuation, but it feels like a new doorway into his memories, his craft, and the storyteller he truly is.Come, sit with us again.Some conversations deserve to be heard slowly… and twice.
