News India Live, Digital Desk: Amazing Story of Vinod of Panchayat: Today, every character of the ‘Panchayat’ web series is recognized in the house, but there is a face that has become immortal without speaking anything or speaking only one or two lines-yes, we are talking about ‘Binod’! Actor Ashok Pathak, who played ‘Binod’, made headlines overnight. His life is an inspirational story of the journey from an anonymous struggle to the ‘Cannes Film Festival’.
Struggle starting days:
Ashok Pathak’s early life went through extreme poverty and deprivation. There was a time when his family had to live by eating ‘jaggery-roti’ to barely feed. Ashok, who came from Bihar, dreamed of becoming an actor in Mumbai, but this journey was not easy. To fill his stomach, he worked as a laborer, sold tea, delivery boy and even made salesperson in the showroom. Even small acting works are available for only 500 or 1000 rupees. Many days also came when they had to sleep on an empty stomach.
‘Panchayat’ changed the story:
The turning point in Ashok’s life came from the first season of the popular web series ‘Panchayat’ of Amazon Prime Video. His character of ‘Binod’ was small, even though his unique dialogue delivery (and the way of saying anything) became extremely popular. People felt so fond of ‘Binod’ that he got dominated by Memes and social media on seeing it.
Did not look back again:
After the success of ‘Panchayat’, Ashok Pathak’s life completely changed. He received several big projects one after the other. He also appeared in films like ‘Kathl’, ‘Arya 3’ and web series, where his acting was appreciated. Not only this, he also worked in advertisements of many big brands.
Travel to Cannes Film Festival:
The most surprising and inspiring thing is that Ashok Pathak, who once battled for two times of bread, reached the ‘Cannes Film Festival’ due to his short film ‘Sayka’ (Shayka). It is the result of his hard work and dedication that he found himself on such a large global stage. This is a great example of an artist’s dreams to come true, which shows that any dream can be achieved if there is dedication and talent.
