Meet actor who worked with Ranbir, Vicky and now is more popular than Alia, Aishwarya
The Hind film industry can be a total game changer for one. It has the ability to change one’s destiny overnight. Let’s talk about an actor who made a lesser known debut, followed by critically acclaimed ventures. She had a slow career start, but then worked with the likes of Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal to become more popular than Aishwarya Rai and Alia Bhatt.
We’re talking about none other than Triptii Dimri who made her debut in the thriller Mom (2017) which was followed by her lead role in Poster Boys, Laila Majnu, Bulbbul and Qala. Her performances in all the ventures were widely appreciated, but it was only Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal that brought her immense fame and recognition.
Following the release, the actress’ social media fan following also skyrocketed, bringing her a mammoth amount of followers’ base on the internet. The year 2024 also turned out to be a significant one for her with successive releases that included Bad Newz, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video.
It was earlier this month on December 5 that IMDb released the list of the top 10 most popular Indian Stars of 2024 and according to the list, Triptii Dimri claimed the top spot. The actress left behind several big names that were subsequently followed by Deepika Padukone, Ishaan Khatter, Shah Rukh Khan, Sobhita Dhulipala, Sharvari, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Samantha, Alia Bhatt and Prabhas.
Reflecting on her life after growing popularity, in a conversation with The Hollywood Reporter earlier this year, Triptii jokingly mentioned that she used to go to buy vegetables before the release of Animal. She noted the irony of how an actor always dreams of experiencing this day.
“One wants fame, but I love my freedom too. I love going for long walks. I love chilling with my friends without getting bothered about other things, but now that this has happened, things have changed. I’m not free anymore. The sense of freedom has kind of gone away,” she said.
Going further, Triptii has an exciting line-up of projects that include Vishal Bhardwaj’s Arjun Ustara alongside Shahid Kapoor, backed by Sajid Nadiadwala. In addition to this, she has Dhadak 2 alongside Siddhant Chaturvedi.
