He is, of course, aware of the live he has won, thanks to social media.

"I know people love me. I get to know about it through social media. Sometimes I feel that the love of the audience is like a fixed deposit with me and I have to give them back with interest. So, the responsibility and trust increases. I have to return the love of the audience with interest," he said.

Pankaj has a motley of films lined up in the year ahead. He will be seen in "83", 'Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar", "Mumbai Saga" and "Bachchan Pandey".
