Triptic Dimri looks like a million bucks and possesses a thousandwatt smile. She's one bindaas girl who is as comfortable doing risque comedies like Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video and Bad Newz (both 2024) as she is doing a period horror, Bulbbul (2020) and a psychological musical, Qala (2022).
Her role in Animal (2023), where she played Ranbir Kapoor's lover, got her the notorious sobriquet of Bhabhi No 2. She took every bouquet and brickbat in her stride and today her career is on the rise and rise. Such is her popularity that the re-release of her Laila Majnu (2018) some time ago earned more moolah than it originally did back then. The reel Tripti is courted by masses and filmmakers alike but nothing much is known about the real Tripti. She believes in living life to the fullest and doesn't let anything or anyone faze her.
Despite her stardom, she remains a simple girl at heart. In a candid chat, the chirpy actor answers questions about relationships, food and fashion. Excerpts
