Triptii
Dimri
made
her
debut
in
Bollywood
with
Shreyas
Talpade's
2017
Bollywood
film
Poster
Boys
and
followed
it
with
Laila
Majnu
which
was
helmed
by
Sajid
Ali.
But
it
was
Anvita
Dutt's
Netflix
film
Bulbbul
which
catapulted
her
to
fame.
Recently
in
an
interview
with
ETimes,
Triptii
opened
up
on
the
hurdles
she
faced
when
she
stepped
in
the
film
industry
and
how
Bulbbul
changed
her
life.
The
actress
recalled
how
she
bagged
Poster
Boys
and
said,
"It
was
through
social
media
that
the
team
of
Poster
Boys
spotted
me
and
approached
me.
I
told
them
that
I
don't
know
anything
about
acting,
yet
I
auditioned
and
to
my
surprise,
got
selected.
It
was
only
after
the
release
of
the
film
that
my
parents
thought
it
was
time
for
me
to
move
to
Mumbai.
Soon
after,
I
bagged
Laila
Majnu
as
the
female
lead.
Luck
seemed
to
be
on
my
side
as
I
realised
where
Bollywood
enthusiasts
complained
about
struggles,
here
I
was,
with
good
projects
coming
my
way
right
from
the
beginning."
Triptii
revealed
that
she
had
not
done
a
single
workshop
when
she
did
her
second
film
Laila
Majnu
and
was
unaware
of
the
process
that
one
goes
through
while
playing
a
lead
in
a
film.
"When
I
used
to
attend
these
discussions
with
Imtiaz
Ali
sir
(who
co-wrote
the
screenplay
and
presented
the
film),
Sajid
Ali
(director)
and
Avinash
Tiwary
(co-star),
I
would
sit
there
with
blank
expressions.
The
first
schedule
of
the
film
was
a
little
challenging
for
me.
Before
the
second
schedule
rolled
out,
the
team
asked
me
to
take
up
acting
classes.
It
was
during
this
course
that
I
enjoyed
acting
and
realised
I
want
to
pursue
it
as
my
profession.
So,
when
I
landed
on
the
set
for
the
second
schedule,
the
team
was
happy
to
see
the
improvement
in
me," the
actress
recalled
while
speaking
with
the
leading
daily.
Post
Laila
Majnu,
there
was
a
two-year
gap
before
Triptii
bagged
Bulbbul.
The
actress
said
that
the
wait
was
demotivating
for
her.
She
told
ETimes,
"I
waited
for
good
scripts
to
come
my
way,
but
it
wasn't
happening.
So
that
was
the
most
difficult
phase,
because
I
would
get
up
every
day
wondering
what's
next,
especially
when
all
my
friends
were
working.
It
was
too
stressful
for
me.
With
free
time
on
hand,
I
enrolled
myself
in
acting
classes.
I
wouldn't
be
10
per
cent
of
what
you
see
me
as
an
actor
today,
had
I
not
utilised
that
free
time
wisely."
It
was
the
Netflix
film
Bulbbul
which
brought
Triptii
to
spotlight.
On
being
asked
if
she
anticipated
this
success,
the
actress
said,
"A
lot
of
people
around
me
asked
me
to
stay
away
from
OTT
after
doing
two
feature
films
back-to-back.
Thank
God,
I
did
not
follow
their
suggestions
because
my
digital
film
has
changed
my
life
completely,
not
just
professionally,
but
personally,
too.
It
is
through
this
project
that
I
learnt
to
grasp
a
character's
graph.
It
made
me
quite
confident
as
a
person
and
as
an
actor."
Speaking
about
Triptii's
upcoming
projects,
the
actress
will
be
reuniting
with
Bulbbul
director
Anvita
Dutt
for
another
Netflix
Qala.
If
reports
are
to
be
believed,
she
will
also
be
seen
sharing
screen
space
with
Ishaan
Khatter
in
Dharma
Productions' next
psychological
thriller.
Further,
Triptii
recently
joined
Dharma
Cornerstone
Agency
as
one
of
their
talents.
