Triptii Dimri is a breath of fresh air in Bollywood.

a star who has risen through sheer talent and grace, yet remains deeply rooted in her humble beginnings. She took time off her busy schedule just to sit down for an interview, with none of the starry airs you often expect. Listening to her talk about having roadside paani puri and imli, I immediately wanted to go on a snack trail with her. While she still pines for the hills, her heart is now firmly in Mumbai, and she seems ready to take on every challenge this city throws her way. Despite early rejections and personal challenges, Triptii's resilience shone through. Her breakthrough came with the critically acclaimed Bulbbul (2020), where her nuanced performance earned her the Filmfare OTT Award for Best Actress. She further captivated audiences with her role in Qala (2022), showcasing her versatility. In 2023, she starred in the blockbuster Animal, which grossed over Rs 900 crore, solidifying her place in the industry. Her recent projects include Bad Newz and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 (2024), and in 2025, she earned critical acclaim for Dhadak 2. Yet what makes Triptii truly endearing is how she remains the same bubbly, grounded pahadi girl at heart. Her six million Instagram followers get glimpses of her unfiltered self: candid photos, travel diaries, and thoughtful reflections. Seeing her navigate her evolving career while staying so connected to her roots makes her journey both inspiring and deeply relatable. Excerpts from an engaging interview.
