Triptii Dimri became a national crush overnight, post the release of ‘Animal‘ but her true fans remember the actress post ‘Laila Majnu‘ and ‘Bulbbul’. Not many can recall that Triptii had infact, started her career with ‘Poster Boys’ which starred Sunny Deo, Bobby Deol and Shreyas Talpade. But at that point in time, she didn’t know anything about acting.
The actress who is currently promoting her movie, ‘Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video’, recalled how naive she was, in an interview recently.She recalled working with Bobby, Sunny and Shreyas in ‘Poster Boys’ and said, “I didn’t know the meaning of DOP (director of photography) or what a POV (point-of-view) shot was. I didn’t perform well in it because I didn’t know the ‘a’ of acting.” However, Triptii admitted that her parents who were reluctant about her moving to Mumbai and being a part of the industry. But the fact that Triptii was working with the Deols, eased her parents’ concern.
She said, “I just wanted to do something different. I was never academically good. I told my parents I was going to give it (modelling) a try.” Triptii also admitted how she would cry everyday on the sets of ‘Laila Majnu’. The ‘Qala’ actress said, “Even then, I didn’t know acting. I would sit in workshops with my director Sajid Ali and (co-star) Avinash Tiwary and they would have discussions on acting, backstory and characterisations. I would just sit there, blank-faced, not knowing anything. I would go home and cry thinking, ‘Am I doing the right thing?’ because I didn’t understand what they were saying or their language.”
Post ‘Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video’, Triptii will be seen next in ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ with Kartik Aaryan.
