After Paresh Rawal left, fans of Hera Pheri 3 immediately joined the bandwagon, and the AI fad shows no signs of abating. They began to spread images of Pankaj Tripathi online. The performer has so far responded generally to AI material online throughout the period. But for a different cause, he has also stated that he is "not afraid" of the device.

Pankaj Tripathi not scared of AI replacing humans

While on Zoom, Pankaj Tripathi urged for the meaningful use of AI. The actor urged people to be careful of what is genuine and what is not. In addition, the actor stated that he is not afraid of AI since a computer cannot replicate human emotions, which is crucial in his line of work. The actor stated, "I am not frightened because, no matter how much technology develops, human feelings will still be valuable, and that is not going to change."

Since the incident, it is the first time the actor has discussed AI, even if he hasn't addressed them personally.
