Triptii Dimri Responds To Ranbir Kapoor's Animal Criticism, Describes Her Character Zoya: 'I Feel That Films Allow...'

Months after the release of Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Animal, the film continues to spark discussions. Triptii Dimri garnered significant attention for her role, despite some criticism labeling the film as misogynistic and promoting toxic masculinity. Recently, she addressed her experience with the film and described her character Zoya as both 'brave and innocent.' During an event, Triptii shared insights about her standout performance and the mixed reactions the film has generated, participating in a session titled 'Struggles to Stardom: The Untold Story of My Bollywood Breakthrough.'

During India Today Conclave, Triptii, talking about her character in Animal film, said, "For me, I don’t like staying in my comfort zone. With Bulbbul and Qala, I found that comfort, and while I love drama, being on those sets always energised me. However, when Animal came along, I found it truly challenging. As an actor, it's important to take on something that pushes you. Every time I get a role, I feel like it's both scary and challenging. That's exactly how I felt when Sandeep Sir explained Zoya's character to me. She seemed both brave and innocent at the same time, and that excited me. I’m always looking for roles that offer something different."

Addressing the criticism, she added, "I would approach Zoya's character exactly the same way I did. As humans, we all have different shades—good, bad, and even ugly. I feel that films allow us to explore these sides. Acting lets us experience a wide range of emotions, and I consider actors lucky because we get to live through so many different experiences in one lifetime."
