Triptii Dimri's Parents Were Told ‘She'll Get Spoiled’ When She Moved to Mumbai: ‘She Will Hang Out With...'

Triptii Dimri kicked off her Bollywood journey with Laila Majnu, but it was her standout role in the Ranbir Kapoor film Animal that shot her to national fame. Her path hasn’t been all smooth sailing; she revealed that even her relatives were skeptical about her decision to enter the film industry and often questioned her choices. Recently, on Katrina Kaif’s Kay Beauty YouTube channel, she shared her experiences, revealing that she’s from Uttarakhand but grew up in Delhi, where her family still resides. Triptii also mentioned that moving to Mumbai was tough for her, as she had to face rooms full of people every day!

“I am from Uttarakhand, but I was born and brought up in Delhi, so my parents and family are in Delhi… It was difficult for me when I moved to Bombay (Mumbai), to go out every day in front of more than 50-60 people in a room. There are people in the society and in my family also who said mean things to my parents. Things like ‘Why have you sent your daughter to this profession? She is going to get spoiled; she will hang out with the wrong people, she is going to make wrong choices for herself, no one is going to want to marry her, she is not going to get married now’,” Triptii shared during the chat.

Triptii shared that there was a time when she felt confused and lost hope, especially when she woke up to no work. However, she was determined not to go back to her parents. “One thing I knew was that I could not go back to my parents and tell them, ‘No, I have not done it’.” She mentioned that her parents were proud of her after her first film, Laila Majnu, which was recently re-released in theaters and made more money than during its original run.

Triptii spoke about being called the “national crush” after her role in Animal. She felt grateful, sharing that her experience had been different in the past. In her career, both in older and newer films, she has received a lot of love from her audience. “I would like to thank God, because in my experience, it has been the other way around, as many films I have done in my career, whether they are the older films that I did earlier, or the ones that have released recently, I have received a lot of love from my audience. People have liked my work and have spoken about it,” she said, wrapping up.

Triptii Dimri will be next seen opposite Rajkummar Rao in Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video. On the personal front, she is often seen with rumoured boyfriend, Sam Merchant. She was earlier rumoured to be dating Anushka Sharma’s brother.
