Triptii Dimri talks about her unexpected success after appearing for only 10 minutes in Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal. Triptii Time, as she is now known, admits to feeling so many different emotions and cannot put them into words. She stated, “My emotions were overwhelming after watching the film – even my sleepless night couldn’t help.”

Animal, where she had a small part opposite Ranbir Kapoor, made Triptii an instant hit with audiences, and audiences praised her performance so highly it was almost immediately agreed.

I decided instantly when Sandeep Reddy Vanga sir told me through an assistant that he wanted me to be cast in his film.

Still, something happened for over a year when he called and spoke with me about life – saying something along these lines: he wouldn’t send her lead roles.

Still, he will say this is evil but not in this way as audiences should never get an impression that anyone is acting to achieve any more significant purpose.”

Animal, the film that earned her critical acclaim and widespread mainstream success for 29-year-old Dimri, is her first mainstream success; previously recognized for Qala and Bulbbul.

With Animal’s success comes more viewership for other movies. “I believe there will be a change in my career – seeing films like Qala reach as many viewers possible – receiving messages from viewers telling her they watched my films has been especially satisfying!” she exclaims.

Her Instagram following skyrocketed from 660K within one week to an incredible 2.6 million; even her family was more excited than she about that happening – whenever her followers increased even slightly, they sent her pictures or messages about watching her films!

Rumors swirl that she has already signed Spirit, a film with Prabhas. However, she denies signing anything and would welcome their offers.

Back On The Big Screen

“Animal” is one of the most disturbing films from Bombay in over two decades”. Since my last cinematic experience was decades ago, I had almost forgotten what it felt like to see myself on the big screen – until Animal.

A significant film has its impact: reaching wider or newer audiences than expected – many who first saw me in Animal have gone on to watch Bulbbull or Qala – an actor’s ultimate hope that their work finds new audiences!

The ‘Lick My Shoe Scene’

My acting coach taught me one fundamental rule: never judge your character. All characters, whether the one you play or one played by another actor in your production, are humans with both good and bad sides that must be explored honestly by actors if they want to portray realistic performances.

Judging a character’s thoughts or motivations impedes acting honestly – something I tried hard not to do while playing my part in this play.

She continued, “I thought she talked about murdering her husband, father, children, and the whole family. If anyone told me this, I may beat that person!”

He asked her to do this (lick his shoes), but afterward, he walked off. His cousins later asked what should happen next, and his response was: ‘Let her do whatever she pleases.”

Animal: What Triptii’s Parents Thought After Seeing Animal

Triptii spoke about her parents’ reaction to an intimate scene she shot for Animal, saying they were initially taken aback but eventually warmed to it and offered supportive comments such as, ‘We have never seen anything like this in a film, and you did it!”

They took some time getting used to the scene before becoming sweetly accepting, saying things like: You shouldn’t havehave done that… but we will feel it as parents!’

She told her parents it was her duty as an actress to portray each role with as much authenticity as possible, telling them “there was nothing wrong in what I was doing; as long as my work felt safe and I could focus on my craft without worry.

Since I am an actor I must always remain 100% truthful to the character I portray, and this was exactly my intention,” she remarked.
