About Triptii Dimri
Triptii Dimri recently gained widespread acclaim for her role in Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal, but she also faced backlash for her intimate scenes with Kapoor. Speaking about the criticism, Triptii opened up during a conversation on Ranveer Allahbadia’s podcast, revealing how deeply the negativity affected her.
She shared, “I cried a lot after Animal, for at least three days. I was not used to this at all. This happened all of a sudden, and I never expected I would have to face criticism of this magnitude. People were writing rubbish, and you know how nasty they can get.” On the professional front, Triptii is currently filming vishal Bhardwaj’s upcoming project arjun Ustara. Initially, Kartik Aaryan was expected to star opposite her, but the role has since gone to Vishal’s frequent collaborator shahid Kapoor, known for his work in Haider, Rangoon, and Kaminey. Additionally, Triptii has an exciting lineup, including karan Johar’s Dhadak 2, where she will star alongside Siddhant Chaturvedi.
