The play, 'Lailaaj', was the inaugural production under the banner of Roopkatha Rangmanch, which is jointly managed by Pankaj and his wife, Mridula Tripathi. The play was successfully staged in Mumbai in November and received considerable praise from the audience.

Pankaj Tripathi revealed that he approached watching his daughter’s performance with a critical eye, stating he viewed it "as an actor, and not as a father." When asked about how Aashi handled professional feedback, he expressed amazement at her quick learning curve, sharing, "When our teachers used to explain these things, it would take us one or two years to adopt that. She achieved that miracle in just three shows. This new generation is very sharp, very advanced. But the problems they face are also sharper and very advanced."

His observation highlights a blend of pride in her natural talent and a fatherly concern for the challenges the new generation faces in the competitive industry.
