Triptii Dimri finally opens up about her experience of working in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s much-discussed film, ‘Animal.’ Notably, she also discusses her future projects, emphasizing how acting offers her diverse life experiences.
Since its release in December 2023, Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s ‘Animal’ has sparked significant controversies. On September 25, 2024, Triptii Dimri attended the India Today Mumbai Conclave and spoke in detail about her decision to play the role of Zoya in the film, which also starred Ranbir Kapoor. Her character was pivotal despite its seemingly minor presence, as she was tasked with luring and distracting Ranbir’s character. Her on-screen chemistry with Kapoor in Vishal Mishra’s song ‘Pehle Bhi Main’ received widespread acclaim, and her portrayal of Zoya left a lasting impression on the audience. This performance earned her the titles of ‘national crush’ and ‘Bhabhi 2,’ solidifying her place in popular culture.
Discussing her role, Triptii said, “For me, I don’t like staying in my comfort zone. With ‘Bulbbul’ and ‘Qala,’ I found that comfort, and while I love drama, being on those sets always energized me. However, when ‘Animal’ came along, I found it truly challenging. As an actor, it’s important to take on something that pushes you. Every time I get a role, I feel like it’s both scary and challenging. That’s exactly how I felt when Sandeep Sir explained Zoya’s character to me. She seemed both brave and innocent at the same time, and that excited me. I’m always looking for roles that offer something different.”
Triptii further elaborated on how acting allows her to have varied life experiences by exploring different emotions in a character. She emphasized the importance of not judging the characters she portrays, as everyone has multiple facets—the good, the bad, and the ugly. This approach allows her to delve deeper into her roles and bring authenticity to her performances.
The actor also addressed her minimal interaction on social media, which has puzzled many fans. Last seen alongside Vicky Kaushal in ‘Bad Newz,’ Triptii explained that she would never choose projects out of desperation.
. Speaking about her limited social media presence, she said, “I think this is just who I am as a person. I am a very private person. I sometimes don’t reply to my team. I just do my thing. I post when I feel like it because that is real life. I don’t want to put a fake picture of myself. That is where you find a connection with the audience—by showing them who you really are.”
Triptii also revealed her aspiration to portray a mythological character, a dream role that contrasts with her previous work. She was genuinely surprised by the positive reception ‘Animal’ received, stating that the love and admiration that came her way were totally unexpected. She expressed her admiration for legendary actresses such as Jaya Bachchan, Madhubala, and Meena Kumari, who have significantly impacted Indian cinema.
Looking ahead, Triptii has an exciting lineup. Her next two films are slated for release in the upcoming month. On October 11, she will appear alongside Rajkumar Rao in ‘Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video,’ a film that has already generated considerable buzz. Additionally, she is part of the third installment of Anees Bazmee’s successful ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’ series, starring Vidya Balan and Kartik Aryan, which is set to release during Diwali.
Triptii Dimri’s journey in the world of cinema is a testament to her dedication and passion for her craft. By taking on challenging roles and staying true to herself both on and off-screen, she continues to win hearts and redefine her career path. With upcoming projects that promise to showcase her versatility, fans and critics alike eagerly await her next steps, anticipating another stellar performance from this rising star.
As Triptii continues to break new ground in her acting career, it’s clear that her commitment to choosing roles that challenge and excite her will keep her on the radar as one of Bollywood’s most captivating talents. Whether on the silver screen or in limited social media posts, Triptii Dimri remains an authentic, compelling presence.
