Triptii Dimri on fame post Animal
The actor has been grabbing attention for her supporting role in the top-grossing action film Animal. Triptii Dimri, who has worked in Bulbbul (2020) and Qala (2022), also said that she wasn’t looking for this kind of attention, when she signed Animal. Triptii, who plays Zoya Riaz in Animal, said, “I just wanted to do Animal because the character was interesting. Achieving this kind of success wasn’t a plan. It just happened and I feel very lucky and grateful. I’m not seeking stardom.”
Apart from her and Ranbir, Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal also features Rashmika Mandanna, Bobby Deol and Anil Kapoor in key roles. Triptii’s intimate scene with Ranbir in Animal has been grabbing attention. In a recent interview with India Today, the actor got candid about shooting the much-talked-about sequence.
On shooting intimate scene in Animal
Triptii said, “Luckily, in my case, I’ve been dealing with whether I was doing the rape scene in Bulbull (her 2020 Netflix film) or this one, they kept asking me if I am okay. They also ensured that there were no more than five people, including the director, the DOP, and the actors during the scene. Nobody else was allowed on set, all the monitors were shut, and they were like, ‘this is the scene we are doing. If at any point you feel you’re uncomfortable, let us know. We’ll go at your pace… Every five minutes, Ranbir Kapoor was checking up on me and asking, ‘Are you okay, are you comfortable?’ I think these things really matter. People are sensitive to these things.”
