'Animal' and 'Dhadak 2' actress Triptii Dimri: 'Would love to play Meena Kumari or Madhubala in their biopic and...'
The actress said, 'If someone makes a biopic on either of them, I would love to be a part of it. They were legends, icons - and portraying them would be an honor.' Bollywood actress Triptii Dimri has spoken about her wish to star in the biopic of Madhubala and Meena Kumari, two of the most legendary actresses of Hindi cinema. In a statement, the actress said, 'I would love to do a biopic. I'm a huge fan of Meena Kumari ji and Madhubala ji. If someone makes a biopic on either of them, I would love to be a part of it. They were legends, icons - and portraying them would be an honor.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Dimri added, 'Honestly, when you're acting, there's so much pressure in the moment. It's not like someone else's face comes into your mind - you're just reacting to your co-actor, your lines, your scene. Still, playing either of them would be such a learning experience.' The character of Dhadak 2 The two scenes that stand out are towards the end when she explodes on her family and gives a chilling monologue about Ghar Ki Izzat and women's responsibilities. The other one is her cry for help, equality, understanding as she screams her heart out. Maybe it's time for anyone who points a finger on someone's caste to introspect and evolve. If the trauma the hero is subjected to acts like fire, Vidhi's relentless strength and sensitivity acts like an extinguisher. Triptii's climax shot is so strong that the audiences are talking highly about it across social media platforms, not for its volume, but for the vulnerability and truth Triptii brings to it. That particular sequence captures her impressive emotional range and acting mettle, proving that she has come far from where she started - and it shows. As she has stepped into the skin of an emotionally charged character, she masterfully balances silence with vibrating intensity - a raw feeling that reaches straight to the viewers, who are already hailing the climax as one of the most crucial in recent times.

Well, in a recent interview, Akshay shared an important health tip that he swears by. Akshay Kumar During a recent media interaction, Akshay Kumar revealed the reason behind consuming dinner at 6:30 pm every evening. He shared, '6:30 baje khana kyun ek toh sabse important hai, aapke shareer ke liye sabse zyaada important hai, kyunki hum jab raat ko so jaate hain, our eyes are resting, our legs are resting, our hands are resting. Every part of our body is resting. But what is not resting is your stomach because we have eaten food late. By the time you get up, it is time for him to relax. But when we get up we eat our breakfast and again the poor stomach is working. It's working very hard. I'm explaining it in a very very simple way. And you all know, aap sabhi jaante hain ki jo pet hai, wohi ek sabse, matlab, jitni bhi bimariyaan hoti hain woh sab wahi se aati hain.' The superstar went on to add, 'So it is important. I think saare shareer ke andar agar aap sabse zyaada dhyaan apne pet ka rakhenge, I think bimariyaan aapke nazdeek nahi aayengi. Toh yahi main humesha follow karta hun. Toh 6:30 baje khana isliye zaroori hai kyunki you get your time to digest your food and by the time when you are about to sleep by 9-9:30, 10 o clock, the stomach is completely ready to rest and that's it.' Apart from this one rule, Akshay also fasts on every Monday. On the film front, Akshay will next be seen in Jolly LLB 3 with Arshad Warsi.
