AP Breakthrough Entertainer: Anupam Tripathi of 'Squid Game'

Anupam Tripathi said his grandfather sometimes read his palm and told him he’d be rich one day
SEOUL, South Korea -- Anupam Tripathi said his grandfather sometimes read his palm and told him he’d be rich one day. His joking response?
“Where is my money!”
The 33-year-old Tripathi was rightfully doubtful. The Indian actor who relocated to South Korea more than a decade ago eked out a living singing in humble theaters and through minor film gigs in his adopted home country. Now, after the global success of “Squid Game” and his turn as Ali Abdul, he's taking the camera far more seriously.
“Should I keep this on, or no?” he repeatedly asked his manager about a scarf around his neck before a recent sit-down, on-camera interview with The Associated Press.
