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.

Siddhant Chaturvedi Reveals He Was Rejected From Laila Majnu: 'I Grew My Beard But...'
Last Updated: Siddhant Chaturvedi reveals he was rejected from Laila Majnu for looking too young, despite growing a beard and sending new photos. Triptii Dimri later starred in the film. Before Gully Boy catapulted Siddhant Chaturvedi into Bollywood's limelight, the actor had nearly made his big-screen debut with Triptii Dimri in the 2018 romantic tragedy Laila Majnu. In a recent candid chat with Just Too Filmy, Siddhant opened up about how he was shortlisted for the lead role in the Sajid Ali-directed film — but eventually lost it due to his age. Currently gearing up for the release of Dhadak 2 opposite Triptii Dimri, Siddhant was asked which of her earlier performances he admired most. Without missing a beat, he chose Laila Majnu. 'I was shortlisted for Laila Majnu, and I was 22 at that point in time. Very close," he recalled. Explaining what cost him the part, he said, 'The thing is, the guy had to be older than the girl. I didn't know who was going to be playing the girl. It was my audition round days. I auditioned, but they felt I was a little too young." Desperate to land the role, Siddhant even tried to tweak his appearance. 'I grew my beard. My brother shot me in his new camera, and I made a profile that I sent them. Obviously, it didn't work out," he admitted with a smile. Eventually, the role of Qais went to Avinash Tiwary, with Triptii making her film debut as Laila. Though Laila Majnu underperformed during its initial theatrical run in 2018, the film found a second life online, developing a loyal fan base post its digital release. In a surprising twist of fate, when it was re-released in theatres in August 2024, it earned four times more than its original run and finally turned profitable. 'I went to the screening of Laila Majnu just to know what I was missing out on," Siddhant said, adding that he was deeply moved by Triptii's performance in the film. Now, the duo will finally share the screen in Dhadak 2, directed by Shazia Iqbal and produced by Dharma Productions, Zee Studios, and Cloud 9 Pictures. Touted as a spiritual sequel to Dhadak and an official remake of the Tamil film Pariyerum Perumal, Dhadak 2 is set to hit theatres on August 1, 2025.
