Triptii Dimri finally breaks her silence over Animal criticism, makes big statement over her character Zoya, calls her ‘both innocent and…’

Triptii Dimri described her role in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal as “challenging,” showcasing her commitment to the character. The film also features Ranbir Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, and Bobby Deol, adding to its allure.

Months have passed since the release of Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal, yet the film remains a hot topic of discussion. Triptii Dimri, who captivated audiences with her performance, faced mixed reactions, with some labeling the film as misogynistic and a promoter of toxic masculinity. At the India Today Mumbai Conclave 2024, she spoke about her role, describing her character Zoya as both “brave and innocent.”

Triptii stated, “As an actor, it’s important to take on something that pushes you. Every time I get a role, I feel like it’s both scary and challenging. That’s exactly how I felt when Sandeep Sir explained Zoya’s character to me. She seemed both brave and innocent at the same time, and that excited me. I’m always looking for roles that offer something different.”

Defending Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal, she further said, “I would approach Zoya’s character exactly the same way I did. As humans, we all have different shades—good, bad, and even ugly. I feel that films allow us to explore these sides. Acting lets us experience a wide range of emotions, and I consider actors lucky because we get to live through so many different experiences in one lifetime.”

Animal emerged as one of the highest-grossing Indian films of last year. The gripping narrative follows Ranbir Kapoor’s character, Rannvijay Singh, who discovers an assassination plot against his father, Balbir Singh (Anil Kapoor), and embarks on a quest for revenge.

Triptii Dimri was last seen in Bad Newz alongside Vicky Kaushal and is set to star next in Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video with Rajkummar Rao, as well as Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 opposite Kartik Aaryan.
