I agree with her. There wasn't any violence either.

These bimbettes should just keep quiet

Ya. Animal was also ghost directed by Sooraj Barjatya. Very sanskaari.

If this woman wants a career, she should only be seen and heard onscreen. Her offscreen personality is as charming as a cucumber.

I saw her promoting something on Laughter Chefs and she managed to be bad there also. And that show has Rahul Vaidya and Ankita Lokhande. Imagine.

Yes and pigs can fly.

I love it when actors defend their ckts and movies, says a lot about their double standard mindset.

It was not at all. Just a movie

from Hindustan Times (one portal I haven't to agree to cookies):

"What Triptii said

During the interview, when Triptii was asked why she chose to do an ‘anti-feminist’ film right after Qala, she said: “I didn’t look at it as an anti-feminist film. I don’t give such tags to films. Even while doing Bulbbul and Qala, I never thought I was doing a feminist film. I connected with the characters, had faith in the directors and felt I should do it. Even when Animal was offered to me, I met Sandeep [Reddy Vanga] sir and he explained. He didn’t tell me much about the story, he explained my character. To me, what was exciting was that I have only done goody and nice person roles – who get sympathy at the end – till now, and I was like this was a nice space to be in where I do this character.

‘Everybody wants to do a big film’

She went on to add, “He said something very interesting. He wanted to see innocence and kindness in my eyes but inside I should have that mission in my heart, that I want to accomplish. Now how do you get there, that was my job. I found it to be challenging and interesting, that’s what made me say yes. Then of course, everybody wants to do a big film. Till that time, I was an actor who had done Bulbbul, Qala, and all the films that were being offered, were only those types of movies. I would have loved to do such films and I would love to continue doing those. However, at that time, getting a big film was a big deal for me. Maybe, I’ll get to learn something new and I’ll also get to see how big films are made.”

Quoting what Tripti (reportedly) said because I doubted the term "anti-feminist". As I haven't watched the movie but read everything about it here in the forum, I would agree that Animal definitely didn't show women in a feminist way, but that doesn't make it "anti-feminist"...it just shows how women regularly are shown in all kind of Indian movies - nothing surprising about a male Indian movie-character focussing on what certainly millions of (not only Indian) men focus. For being "anti-feminist" it has to show feminism first to get it destroyed. (However, I could be mistaken as I haven't first-hand experience of Animal.) The bold parts are the most important to me.
