MUMBAI: As Pankaj Tripathi steps into the shoes of Atal Bihari Vajpayee in the upcoming biopic 'Main Atal Hoon,' the actor unveils one key quality of the late Prime Minister that resonates with him profoundly. Speaking at the trailer launch in Mumbai, Tripathi shed light on Vajpayee's high emotional quotient.
"In today's modern language, it is called Emotional Quotient. Atal Ji had a very high emotional quotient. He used to write a poem every year on his birthday in December," shared Tripathi. "After reading so much about him, I realized why he wrote those poems and in what context. So I connect with this quality of his the most because I am also an emotional person. I can cry a lot without any reason."
