For Tripti Dimri, who has been praised for her acting in projects like ‘Laila Majnu’, ‘Bulbul’ and ‘Kala’ in Bollywood and OTT, the tremendous success of ‘Animal’ undoubtedly proved to be a turning point. Her bold role made her a national crush overnight. Now she will be seen in a comic role in ‘Bad News’. A special meeting with Tripti Dimri, in which she talked about many aspects and career.
Be it your film ‘Laila Majnu’ or series like ‘Bulbul’ and ‘Kala’, your acting has always been appreciated, but do you consider it ironic that you got fame from the bold role of ‘Animal’? After that you became a national crush.
-The plus point of ‘Animal’ was that it reached a large number of viewers, so it was natural for it to get fame. Unfortunately, ‘Bulbul’ and ‘Kala’ could reach a limited audience, so they did not get that kind of fame. Although those OTTs also have their own audience. But my acting was also appreciated in ‘Animal’. The only thing is that when you come on the big screen, it is something else. More people go to see it, more people celebrate it. The other quality of ‘Animal’ was that countless people saw it and liked the film. The plus point for me was that after years of ‘Laila Majnu’, one of my films came to the theater. Then in ‘Bulbul’ and ‘Kala’ I had proved my acting and now people felt that I can do this, this too. See, popularity feels good no matter at which stage you get it. I celebrate the title of National Crush like other things in life.

Generally the entertainment industry is accused of objectifying women, how do you view this objectification?
-On this issue, I would say that we fight a lot for equality of women, but first of all we have to see women and men as equal in our thinking. Like we talk about wage disparity or pay parity. Unless a girl and a boy are the same in your mind, how will you consider them equal? This inequality starts from home itself. When there is equality in thinking, only then will these things change. It is important to understand that both are human beings.

How much did a blockbuster film like ‘Animal’ change your life?
-A lot changed after ‘Animal’. I was shooting in Bhopal when ‘Animal’ released. But then suddenly the way reactions started coming, the social media started buzzing, I thought, what happened? But the truth is that it feels good when you get recognized. My parents are very happy when someone asks to click a photo with them. I also feel very good. After all, you work so hard for this love and acceptance.

Have you ever had to go through self-doubt in your teenage?
-I think every girl goes through this at some point or the other. In my teenage, I too had a lot of self-doubts and insecurities. I was told that I had a big forehead. My hair was very curly in childhood, so I was teased by calling me Maggy Maggy. Then I was always busy straightening my hair. It takes time to accept yourself, but once you do that, it doesn’t matter.
Who was your first crush?
-My first crush was Shahrukh Khan. My father was very fond of watching movies and whenever he watched Shahrukh Khan’s movie, I used to sit on the side and watch. I liked his acting, dance, everything. The kind of cinema he does, it used to be my favorite. I have seen many of his movies and now when I had to do ‘Bad News’, to get into its comic genre, I watched many comic movies of the 90s, including those of Shahrukh Khan.

In your upcoming film ‘Bad News’, your pregnant character Saloni is confused about who is the father of her child, Amy Virk or Vicky Kaushal? What if this happens to you in real life?
-No, no (laughs loudly) this should never happen. But I would like to tell you that there have been 17 such cases in the world. This is really a very serious situation that if this happens to anyone in the world, then who knows how he will get out of this situation? Well, we have tried to use it in the comedy space. When the audience watches the film, then they will understand how these three get out of those situations? In our film, you will also get to see small lessons of life.
What could be ‘bad news’ for you and what is the biggest bad news you have heard?
-There can be many types of bad news for me. Like I have two cats. I love them very much. I am on shooting or outside and if I get the news that they are unwell or something has happened to them, then it is a very bad news for me. I was very close to my grandfather and when he passed away, it was the worst news for me. I have not yet recovered from that incident.
Now that you have over 5 million followers on Instagram, does it ever get difficult to handle social media?
– When we become actors, we want as many people as possible to watch our film. If we get love, it feels good to be famous on social media. Initially, I used to spend a lot of time on social media. But now I have reduced my screen time. But for us, social media is an important part of our profession.
