Pankaj Tripathi appointed as the face of Madhya Pradesh Tourism

Pankaj Tripathi, known for his deep love of travelling and passion for India’s cultural richness, has been appointed as the face of the Madhya Pradesh Tourism. He is now set to promote the unique beauty and heritage of Madhya Pradesh, a state close to his heart both personally and professionally.

Madhya Pradesh, with its unique blend of vibrant wildlife, unspoiled nature, timeless architecture, and historic landmarks, is a jewel of Indian tourism. Tripathi, who has filmed some of his most acclaimed movies, including Stree, Stree 2, Lukka Chuppi, Oh My God 2, and Ludo in the state, brings a profound personal connection to his new role as the face of Madhya Pradesh Tourism.

Reflecting on this opportunity, Pankaj Tripathi expressed his gratitude: “I am deeply honored to be chosen as the face of the Madhya Pradesh Tourism. Madhya Pradesh is not just a destination for me—it’s a place that holds countless memories and connections, both personally and professionally.

From the untouched natural wonders to majestic architectural sites and vibrant wildlife, Madhya Pradesh has something for every traveler. I’ve always preferred exploring India’s own treasures over traveling abroad, and Madhya Pradesh truly stands out as one of the most remarkable places to visit in the country. This role allows me to share that love with others and hopefully inspire people to discover the wonders of Madhya Pradesh.”

Madhya Pradesh Tourism is aiming to highlight the state’s array of offerings—from wildlife reserves and UNESCO heritage sites to spiritual and architectural landmarks—through campaigns featuring Pankaj Tripathi.
