Triptii Dimri, the actress who has captured attention with her roles in films like 'Animal' and the upcoming 'Dhadak 2', is expressing a desire to explore darker, more complex characters in her future projects. She specifically mentioned wanting to take on a role similar to Kajol's in the 1997 thriller 'Gupt'.

Dimri stated that she finds the idea of playing a character with grey shades exciting. She believes that negative roles today are more layered and offer actors a greater opportunity to learn and explore new dimensions of performance. She admires how Kajol portrayed a character with negative intentions but with a complex and nuanced personality.

Triptii Dimri's career has been marked by her willingness to take on diverse roles. She made her debut in 'Poster Boys' and gained recognition for her role in 'Laila Majnu'. Her performances in 'Bulbbul' and 'Qala' further established her as a talented actress. 'Animal' proved to be a significant turning point, bringing her wider recognition and opening doors to a variety of roles. In ‘Animal’, she played a character with shades of grey, which she found challenging and exciting.

Currently, Dimri is gearing up for the release of 'Dhadak 2', a romantic drama where she stars alongside Siddhant Chaturvedi. The film is a remake of the Tamil film 'Pariyerum Perumal' and is directed by Shazia Iqbal. It explores themes of casteism and forbidden love. Dimri shared that working on ‘Dhadak 2’ reminded her of her college days and that she bonded well with her co-star, Siddhant Chaturvedi. 'Dhadak 2' is scheduled to release on August 1, 2025.

Beyond 'Dhadak 2', Triptii Dimri has several other projects lined up. She will be seen in 'Arjun Ustara', 'Animal Park' (a sequel to 'Animal'), and a film with director Imtiaz Ali. She is also set to star opposite Prabhas in Sandeep Reddy Vanga's 'Spirit', where Prabhas will play a fierce police officer.

Dimri's openness to experimenting with different genres and character types is evident in her film choices. She has expressed that she wants to choose roles that push her out of her comfort zone. Her willingness to take risks and explore unconventional characters suggests that she is poised for continued growth and success in the film industry.

Triptii Dimri's journey in Bollywood began without a concrete plan. She was a student in Delhi when a test shoot led to modeling offers and eventually, acting opportunities. After her initial film, ‘Poster Boys’, she convinced her parents to give her a year to pursue acting in Mumbai.

Despite facing initial setbacks, such as the limited viewership of 'Laila Majnu' upon its release, Dimri persevered, taking acting workshops and honing her craft. Her breakthrough came with 'Bulbbul', which was followed by critical acclaim for her performance in 'Qala'. 'Animal' further boosted her career, leading to more diverse and exciting opportunities.

While promoting 'Dhadak 2', Triptii Dimri shared some lighthearted moments from the set. She revealed that she and a co-star, Aditya Thackeray, created a side project called 'Dhadak 3' to incorporate action scenes, since Siddhant Chaturvedi had most of them.

With 'Dhadak 2' on the horizon and a range of diverse projects in the pipeline, Triptii Dimri is establishing herself as a versatile and promising actress in Bollywood. Her eagerness to explore complex characters, like Kajol's in 'Gupt', hints at a desire to challenge herself and leave a lasting impact on the audience.
