Triptii Dimri on not getting work for two years: “It was too stressful for me”

Actress Triptii Dimri made her debut in 2017 with the film Poster Boys and then went on to work in Imtiaz Ali’s ‘Laila Majnu’ opposition Avinash Tiwary. However, she rose to fame in 2020 with her lead performance in the critically acclaimed web film, ‘Bulbbul’.

While ‘Bulbbul’ was a boost for her career, Triptii shares how she had to wait for two years to get work after ‘Laila Majnu’. Speaking about her two year gap, the actress told ETimes:

“It was demotivating... For how long can you keep your hopes high? You can do that for one or two months and then you get tired. I waited for good scripts to come my way, but it wasn’t happening. So that was the most difficult phase, because I would get up every day wondering what's next, especially when all my friends were working. It was too stressful for me.”

With free time in her hand, Triptii revealed that she enrolled herself in acting classes, which has helped her as an actor.

She also shares that many people asked her to stay away from OTT after doing two feature films back-to-back, however, she is thankful for not following their suggestions and said:

“My digital film has changed my life completely, not just professionally, but personally, too. It is through this project that I learnt to grasp a character’s graph. It made me quite confident as a person and as an actor.”

Triptii also adds that luck has played a role in her Bollywood career. The actress is now handled by Karan Johar’s talent company and has an untitled project underway.

She will be next seen in 'Qala', opposite Irrfan Khan's son Babil in his acting debut. The Netflix film is produced by Anushka Sharma and her brother and Karnesh Ssharma’s production house Clean Slate Filmz.
