Meet actress whose bold, intimate scenes in this film left her sister worried, movie became a hit, earned Rs..., actress is...
Sometimes, when actresses end up doing bold intimate scenes, they gain unprecedented fame and name. However, the dark side of this fame is that these stars often get stereotyped for a particular role. Interestingly, Bollywood has an actress who, though she did a bold role and some jaw-dropping intimate scenes, was never typecast. In fact, she broke all the norms and played diverse characters in her other projects. This Actress Did Bold Intimate Scenes The actress we are talking about is someone who started her career with a thriller, only to move on to classic sad-romance. She did horror movies, comedy, period psychological dramas, and what not. If you are wondering who this actress is, then let us tell you—we are talking about none other than Triptii Dimri. Triptii started her journey in 2017 with the film Mom, which featured the late iconic actress Sridevi. In the following years, she worked in movies like Laila Majnu, Bulbbul, Qala, and more. When Triptii Dimri's Sister Was Worried Due to Her Intimate Scenes Triptii Dimri also featured in Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Animal. Her chemistry with Ranbir Kapoor was loved by the audience. However, there were certain bold scenes that made Triptii even more famous than before. A drawback of those bold scenes was the shady comments that filled Triptii's social media accounts. Reading all those comments left her sister worried. In an interview with the YouTube channel Too Filmy, Triptii said, 'After a lot of bad comments, I stopped watching it. She (Triptii's sister) used to read every comment till late at night and then get stressed. She understood that it will eventually affect. She said—no matter what you do good, people will talk about it. Do what you believe in.' Triptii recalled her tough time and said, 'I got the support of good friends. My sister was always with me. When I could not clear the audition, I used to call her crying, and she would say—you have to keep doing this. Don't listen to the noise, don't listen to relatives or people around. Just keep doing it and see if it works for you or not. If you are not happy, then this is the time when you step back.' Coming to Triptii's work front, the actress will be seen in Dhadak 2.
