Referring to the character, Triptii says, 'For me, she is Vidhi,' and adds, 'She is not afraid to speak her truth. There is so much to learn from her because she makes you feel empowered.'
She continues, 'I have been an introvert. I've seen and faced things, and not raised my voice against them. For 30 years of my life, I have kept quiet about so many things. I never had the guts to tell people that it's wrong. I told Shazia that I want to be like Vidhi; that by the end of this film, I should have the courage to speak my truth without being scared of anyone or the outcome. Now, I do stand up for the right things. This film made me open up a lot more.'
'Animal' fame Triptii Dimri made her Bollywood debut with the 2017 comedy Poster Boyz. But the journey to films has not been easy. In an interview with Ranveer Allahbadia, the actress revealed, 'While I was in college studying literature, one day, my brother's friend, who had bought a DSLR, shot some pictures of me in a park and randomly sent them to a modeling agency. The agency liked my pictures and called me after two weeks for an audition. I went for an audition, and I passed the audition.'

Anurag Kashyap compares Dhadak 2 to Raj Kapoor, Bimal Roy, Guru Dutt films: ‘What mainstream cinema was meant to be'
Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has compared Shazia Iqbal's Dhadak 2 to films by Raj Kapoor, Bimal Roy, Guru Dutt, K A Abbas, B R Chopra, and Yash Chopra. Taking to Instagram on Saturday, Anurag penned a long note praising the film's lead actors, Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri. He said that this is "what mainstream cinema was meant to be." Anurag Kashyap has only good things to say about Dhadak 2. Anurag Kashyap showers praises on Dhadak 2 Anurag shared a bunch of posters and pictures from Dhadak 2. He lauded Shazia for "holding a mirror to us of what India really is". "In what is the most searing mainstream debut that I have seen in a very, very long time, @shaz.3.0 holds a mirror to us of what India really is outside of our bubble that we live in. Aided by terrific performances from @tripti_dimri, @siddhantchaturvedi, @saurabhsachdeva77 @saadcasm_ @priyanktiwarii, @itsharishkhanna, @manjiripupala @ and writing with #badwelkar, brilliantly shot by @sylvesterfonseca," he said. Anurag compares Dhadak 2 with Raj Kapoor, Guru Dutt films He added that filmmakers have forgotten to make "mainstream films of social relevance" nowadays. "The film captures the conversation that we avoid on a day-to-day basis. This is what mainstream cinema was meant to be, and this is what great filmmakers like Raj Kapoor, Bimal Roy, Guru Dutt, K A Abbas, B R Chopra, Yash Chopra, and so many used to do. We forgot to make mainstream films of social relevance. They got relegated to independent art house cinema. This is what Tamizh cinema and so much of cinema from south still does," Anurag continued. Anurag says Dhadak 2 is 'a punch in the gut' Dhadak 2 follows Nilesh, a Dalit law student who falls in love with his classmate Vidhi, who hails from an upper-caste household, and the humiliation and tribulations he faces from her family. The film has been lauded for being one of the rare Bollywood mainstream romances to tackle casteism and classism in India. Anurag called Dhadak 2 an "extremely brave and powerful film". "A mainstream adaptation of Periyarum Perumal, without losing the essence of it, Dhadak 2 is a punch in the gut. My driver, who went with me, wept at the end of it and hasn't stopped talking since. An extremely brave and powerful film from @dharmamovies. See it for yourself. I won't say much. Congratulations to the whole team. @prashant316 @animeshpanwar @sanyukta_mohta and others that I don't know. Well done, team. @somenmishra @karanjohar," concluded his note. About Dhadak 2 Dhadak 2, which hit the theatres on August 1, is a story that explores love and challenges social norms. The film follows Siddhant's character as he navigates a love story that breaks through societal expectations and class barriers. It's a spiritual sequel to the 2018 hit, which starred Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter. Dhadak was the Hindi remake of the Marathi film Sairat.

From 'Saiyaara', 'Aankhon Ki Gustakhiyaan' to 'Dhadak 2': Internet spots striking similarities in film posters, calls out 'copy-paste' trend
Ardent Bollywood fans, known for their sharp observational skills, are now turning their attention to movie posters. Social media is abuzz with users increasingly highlighting the striking visual similarities between recent Hindi film releases. From the posters of National Award winners Vikrant Massey and Shanaya Kapoor 's 'Aankhon Ki Gustakhiyaan', to Siddhanth Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri's 'Dhadak 2', and Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's 'Saiyaara', fans are pointing out a concerning "copy-paste" trend in Bollywood's marketing. Here's a closer look at it Netizens react to the posters Netizens took to platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram to share the side-by-side comparisons, criticizing what they call a "copy-paste" trend in Bollywood poster design, which includes everything from the framing of romantic leads where they stick their foreheads together to nearly identical backdrops and poses. Reddit was quick to comment after a user shared the posters for Bollywood's most recent slate of films, which looked similar. A poster of 'Satyaprem Ki Katha' by Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani was shared on the internet, and it was compared to a 'Saiyaara' poster. "Saiyara is also very close to this," the netizen wrote. The color scheme is too similar. Another compares it to Tu Jhoothi Main Makkar, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor. "I mean, how much innovation do you want for romantic films? There will only be a select few poses," another person stated. A fan joked, "Everyone is doing this in their shadi pics too!" Internet calls for originality The discussion saw some fans advocating for designers to re-embrace originality and creative risk-taking in visual marketing. They argued that the repetitive aesthetics stifle creativity and make new releases indistinguishable. On the other hand, some defended the aesthetic overlap, suggesting it's merely a common stylistic choice prevalent within the industry, particularly for films within the same genre. Box office performances of the films under radar The films whose posters sparked this debate have seen varied success at the box office. 'Saiyaara', a YRF production, has been a commercial success, buoyed by its popular cast, catchy songs, and compelling storytelling. The movie has garnered over Rs 300 crore globally, making it one of 2025's most successful projects. 'Dhadak 2', starring Siddhanth Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri, however, had a slow start. It struggled to attract a devoted fanbase, especially when compared to Ajay Devgn's 'Son of Sardaar 2' franchise. 'Son of Sardaar 2' significantly outperformed 'Dhadak 2' on its opening day, earning an impressive Rs 6.75 crore against 'Dhadak 2's Rs 3.35 crore. Similarly, 'Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan', featuring Vikrant Massey and Shanaya Kapoor, also had a modest theatrical run. Despite an opening of Rs 1.61 crore, the film did not manage to perform well at the box office overall.
