THIS actress faced years of rejection, broke up with Anushka Sharma's brother—Now she's a Rs 900 crore star
Triptii Dimri's journey in Bollywood is quite remarkable. She faced initial rejections but her talent shone through. Her role in 'Animal' brought her immense popularity. Earlier, she acted in films like 'Laila Majnu', 'Bulbbul', and 'Qala'. Now, she is working with Vishal Bhardwaj and starred in 'Dhadak 2'. Her personal life has also garnered attention. From years of rejection to becoming one of Bollywood's most talked-about stars, Triptii Dimri's rise has been anything but ordinary. Once struggling to land roles and quietly navigating heartbreak, the actress now commands the spotlight after her breakout performance in Animal—a Rs 900 crore blockbuster that changed everything. Before winning hearts as Zoya in Animal, Triptii was steadily carving her path with films like Laila Majnu, Bulbbul, and Qala. While she didn't deliver a mainstream hit early on, her screen presence stood out. Interestingly, casting directors who once turned her away later came calling. Her journey reflects quiet resilience—proof that in an industry driven by connections, raw talent can still rise. A breakout moment in Animal The actress' screen time in Animal may have been limited, but her impact was massive. Her chemistry with Ranbir Kapoor and compelling performance turned heads, making her one of the most-Googled celebrities in India. She even outranked Suhana Khan and Khushi Kapoor on IMDb's popularity charts—a breakout moment that catapulted her into the spotlight. Triptii, originally from Delhi with strong ties to Uttarakhand, grew up embracing her cultural roots during visits to Nag and Naugaon. As a child, she acted in Ramlila, often sidelined to smaller roles due to gender bias, with her father helping from behind the scenes. Though she hadn't planned on becoming an actor, a suggestion from a relative led her to modelling—and eventually, to becoming one of Bollywood's fastest-rising stars. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Ventanas: Unsold Sofas Prices May Surprise You (Prices May Surprise You) Sofas | Search Ads Search Now Undo Buzz around her personal life The actress has often made headlines for her personal life. She was previously rumoured to be in a relationship with Karnesh Ssharma, Anushka Sharma's brother and a film producer, though neither ever confirmed it. Currently, she's reportedly dating model-turned-entrepreneur Sam Merchant. Validation after stardom If 2023 gave Triptii mainstream stardom with Animal, 2024 brought long-overdue validation. Her 2018 film Laila Majnu, once a box office miss, was re-released to a far warmer reception. Ironically, it was the same film she was once rejected for. The full-circle moment served as proof that timing matters—and that genuine talent always finds its spotlight, even if it's years later. She is now collaborating with acclaimed director Vishal Bhardwaj for his upcoming project alongside Shahid Kapoor—another strong indicator of her rising status in Bollywood. Her latest film Dhadak 2, co-starring Siddhant Chaturvedi, may have received mixed reviews, but her performance has consistently earned praise.
