Now, in a twist that promises to shake Shanti Niketan to its core, actress Barkha Bisht is all set to make her grand entry, and her character is expected to bring a storm into Tulsi's (Smriti Irani) seemingly settled life. Triptii Dimri's success was at an all-time high when she starred in Ranbir Kapoor's Animal. She was among the most sought-after young actresses in Bollywood. However, she drew criticism when she starred in films like Bad Newwz and Vicky Aur Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video. In a recent chat with the Hindustan Times, Saurabh Sachdeva, who has not only co-starred with Triptii but also has been her acting coach, opened up about where she went wrong.

Triptii Dimri's Acting Coach Says She Chose Wrong Films After Animal: 'Didn't Work Well'
Last Updated: Saurabh Sachdeva, however, praised Triptii for her acting prowess and work ethic. Triptii Dimri's success was at an all-time high when she starred in Ranbir Kapoor's Animal. She was among the most sought-after young actresses in Bollywood. However, she drew criticism when she starred in films like Bad Newwz and Vicky Aur Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video. In a recent chat with the Hindustan Times, Saurabh Sachdeva, who has not only co-starred with Triptii but also has been her acting coach, opened up about where she went wrong. Saurabh Sachdeva said, 'I think with Triptii, her choices didn't work well. But she is wonderful. She looks good on camera, works hard, is vulnerable and sensitive, and is nice to work with. There are no tantrums, from what I saw in the few films I have done with her." 'All that never changed with her. What happened was that her choices were not right. That is also something an actor needs to learn. You have to make those choices, the ones that are difficult to make," he added. When asked if he feels bad when his students are trolled, he said, 'Ache ache players bhi zero par out hote hain (The best of players get out on zero), but you know that they will come back." He also said, 'A great actor like Irrfan Khan may also not always deliver the performance we expect of him. But there is a performer behind that. Sometimes, the choice of the subject is not right, and sometimes films don't work. What matters is that people recognise that the performer is good." 'I taught so many students. Not all of them are there; only some are. It was in their character to succeed. The stakes were so high for them that they had to succeed. I just helped them along the way," he said in the same chat. Saurabh recently worked with Triptii in Dhadak 2. Set against a campus backdrop, the narrative follows Nilesh (Siddhant Chaturvedi), a student admitted through reservation policies, and Vidhi (Triptii Dimri), a progressive woman from a privileged background, who fall in love across entrenched caste divides. Directed by Shazia Iqbal and produced by Dharma Productions, Zee Studios, and Cloud 9 Pictures, the film is billed as a 'spiritual sequel" to Dhadak (2018), while being a faithful Hindi adaptation of the Tamil classic Pariyerum Perumal (2018).

Saurabh and Triptii's film Dhadak 2, which also stars in the lead, is currently running in theatres. All three actors have received praise for their performances.
