Netizens react as Sunil Grover questions Triptii Dimri

Kartik Aaryan, Triptii Dimri, and Vidya Balan are currently basking in the success of the horror-comedy 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3'. The movie has already crossed the 100-crore mark. To promote the film, the trio appeared on 'The Kapil Sharma Show', where Sunil Grover entertained everyone as his beloved character, Dafli. During his act on stage, Sunil teased Triptii Dimri about her romantic scenes with co-star Ranbir Kapoor in their 2023 film 'Animal', a moment that didn’t sit well with the internet.

In character as Dafli, Sunil asked Triptii, “Yeh jo Ranbir Kapoor ke saath aapne kiya, I hope woh shooting wagera thi. Aisa asli mein toh kuchh nahi tha naa?” When Triptii replied, "Bilkul nahi," Sunil jumped in delight, high-fiving her and saying, “We are friends!” Many viewers found this disrespectful and criticized Grover for his comments.

One user wrote, “Triptii is sweet and calm. She took it so sportingly. Would this question be asked if she was Ananya or Janhvi? Janhvi in particular comes off as vulgar many times. But I don't recall anything negative or weird asked to her when she was on the show.” Another added, “It’s becoming as disgusting as 'Koffee with Karan'. She’s an outsider, so she’s asked such questions. Kareena did such scenes in the 2010s, and no one questioned her about that. Ranbir was in 'Animal', yet no one asked him about his scenes. They are still stuck in 'Animal' while she has done three movies since. Get a life, writers. Such embarrassing lines. Eeww.”

Tripti comes off as groupie. We just gotta find out who’s

They shouldn't have asked this on Natl TV for sure...

Just to give a little context....Dafli loves Ranbir Kapoor and is jealous of Alia and anyone who is intimate with RK.....hence the question.....but it went a little far...should have asked a different question...

Poor Tripti was embarrassed.

Trip stuns in that saree, kudos for draping the pallu

like that and showing off that lovely choli

She’s just glowing

Now, if only she can dance

what a stupid thing to ask tripti, these comedy shows really need to stop being so below the belt with their jokes and the things they ask, its so embarrassing and cringey

I’m sure the intention here was to make a comedic moment out of his character’s obsession with Ranbir. But he should have asked the question in a different manner and without alluding to the sex scenes, specially given all the Bhabi2 stuff from last year.

At the same time, people who say this wouldn’t have been asked of Ananya and Janhvi aren’t wrong. There’s definitely a difference in how star kids are treated vs outsiders.

Tripti looks beautiful here.

again making mountain out of a molehill..

Always with an outsider. If she was a star kid, she would never been asked this.

The team needs to keep this in mind for next time. They’re playing to a Netflix crowd now, so they gotta walk that tightrope between funny and offensive.

It’d be a shame to see Sunil Grover, who’s crazy talented, get canceled over some careless jokes that half the audience doesn’t even care about.

Part of the issue with that "joke" is that Tripti is still finding her footing. She doesn’t seem to have much to work with besides wide-eyed looks and nervous laughs. Unlike Vidya, who’s a pro and knows how to flip even the worst jokes back at the host -- Kapil had nothing but a sheepish grin by the end of that one.

But with Tripti, she’s just standing there, looking all vulnerable and caught off guard, and you can’t blame people for feeling bad. We’re left rolling our eyes, thinking, “Did they really just do that to her?”
