The real name of the main character Happu Singh from the famous series Happu Ki Ultan-Paltan is Yogesh Tripathi.

Hamirpur, a district of Uttar Pradesh. Rath is a small town in Hamirpur. In 2004, a 23-year-old boy from Rath arrived in Mumbai with the dream of becoming an actor.

As there was no place to stay in Mumbai, I stayed at the station for 4 nights. He started wandering here and there in search of new work. Luckily, one day I received an advertisement for Chloromint. This advert became very famous upon its release.

Through the same ad film, I got a chance to work first in the TV show FIR and then in Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hain.

This actor did such a good job that the people at the channel made a show directly in his name. The name of this show is – Happu Ki Ultan-Paltan, and we are talking about Inspector Happu Singh i.e. Yogesh Tripathi.

Yogesh Tripathi is among the most successful television actors today. However, behind this there is a struggle of several years. At first he performed street plays. Of this, he received only 75 rupees.

Success story of Happu Singh i.e. Yogesh Tripathi, in his own words

His father was a physics professor and his interest in cinema originated with his mother. Yogesh Tripathi comes from an ordinary middle-class family. His father was a physics professor. There was only a study atmosphere at home, but Yogesh had other dreams. Mother loved watching and showing movies. Thanks to his mother, Yogesh also developed an interest in cinema.

I used to be happy just by touching the train to Mumbai Yogesh had developed a passion for acting since his childhood. They started doing theater in every village. Even if he wanted to show himself on screen. He realized that if he wanted to appear on screen, he would have to go to Mumbai.

He said: “For us, just thinking about Mumbai was very important. Once I had filled out the form for a railway job. The exam center was deliberately set up in Mumbai so that I could get a chance to go there. On reaching Jhansi, we learned that the exam had been cancelled.

Then we came down to Jhansi itself. No longer able to go to Mumbai, they returned home by train. Just touching the train to Mumbai was a big deal in those days.

Serve people tea, clean the floor With time, Yogesh realized that it wouldn’t be right to go to Mumbai without any base, so he made Lucknow his first destination. He said, “I came to Lucknow on the pretext of studies and joined theater there. I understood that it would not be good to go to Mumbai without a sponsor.

However, there were many struggles in Lucknow. There you had to spend many hours sitting on the stairs. People had to be served tea. I had to clean the floor.

I started doing street plays while wandering, I earned 75 rupees While doing theater in Lucknow, Yogesh got a chance to go to the National School of Drama (NSD). Once he got there, his eyes opened.

He said, “Once I was selected for the NSD workshop. I had the chance to do a play there. By going to NSD, I discovered what real theater is. After that, I started thinking only about theater day and night. I started wandering and performing street plays. He did five shows each, for which he received Rs 75.

I had to sleep at Mumbai CST station for 4 nights While doing theater in Lucknow, Yogesh began to feel that the time was right to go to Mumbai. He made friends doing theater. He came to Mumbai with them.

Yogesh said, “We reached Mumbai, but we had no place to stay. I decided to sleep at the station itself. A total of four nights, my friends and I stayed at the CST station in Mumbai.

I used to sleep using a rug and a suitcase as a pillow “Anyway, I was living in the same room with many people in Mumbai. There was no money to buy a mattress. He slept by spreading a rug underneath and using the suitcase as a pillow. Once a friend came from Lucknow. Due to embarrassment, I bought a mattress for Rs 300 at that time.

To earn a living, he did small plays and earned two thousand five hundred rupees from them. This would be enough for the entire month of work.

Yogesh Tripathi said that he used to lie all day in Mumbai’s famous Prithvi Theater in the hope of getting an opportunity somewhere. May you meet someone. May I hear about an audition somewhere. Finally, one day in 2007, he had the chance to work in advertising. This commercial was for Chloromint, which was quite famous on television.

Yogesh’s life changed after that famous Chloromint commercial. Yogesh received Rs 35,000 for this advertisement.

Chloromint advertising changed destiny The Chloromint advertisement became the first step towards success for Yogesh. Director Shashank Bali was present during the filming. He really liked Yogesh’s work.

Yogesh himself narrates what happened after that: “Shashank Bali found my role quite funny. Seeing this ad, he gave me a job in the TV show FIR. After this, Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hain and Happu Ki Ultan-Paltan were received through him. I have had a very close relationship with Shashank Bhai ever since.

I first got the role of Happu Singh in Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hain and then the serial was made under the same name. Elaborating on the story, Yogesh says, “I used to play different characters in the serial FIR. My work was appreciated, but not recognized. Then I got a chance to play the character of Happu Singh in Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hain.

This character became very famous in no time. At that time, I was telling people that the character had become famous, at least I was running one of my stories on the side. At that time, no one thought that the channel would do a separate show ‘Happu Ki Ultan-Paltan’ with me.

This means the show is still on. I went to tie Rakhi to her sister, there were so many people there that we had to call the police.

Even Yogesh himself had not thought that he would go this far passing through a small place called Rath. He is very popular due to his shows in UP and MP.

He said, “Earlier, I had gone to my sisters’ house in Mahoba to tie Rakhi. A crowd of people gathered there to see me. Now is the time to call the police. A call had also come from the DM and MP. I felt very happy to see people’s love.

The craze for ‘Happu Singh’ among fans can be seen in this photo. The situation made me an actor, now I want to do a serious role

After working in television for over 15 years, Yogesh now wants to try his hand at cinema as well. He said, “I have a sincere desire to play serious roles other than comedy. I didn’t come into the industry thinking about comedy, the situation made me a comedian. If I had been born in the era of Kader Khan and Asrani, I might have found work in many films. Mother couldn’t see her son succeed

At the end of the interview, we asked Yogesh if he had any secrets to share?

In response, he said: “Whatever I am today, I am because of my mother. If my mother had not shown me films in my childhood, perhaps the passion for theater would not have developed in me. I am deeply saddened that she will not be able to see me become an actor. When I received my first prize, I only remembered him. If my mother had been alive today, things would have been different.

Saying this, Yogesh became a little emotional, his eyes became moist.

Yogesh’s mother left this world in 1999, at the age of just 47.
