Triptii Dimrii has hogged the limelight for her limited but impactful role in Animal. The actress essays the role of Zoya in the Sandeep Reddy Vanga directorial, which is running successfully in cinema halls now. Triptii's role is in the news because of its bold nature. She shares several intimate moments with her co-star Ranbir Kapoor. While the actress had earlier said that the team made her feel comfortable while shooting the bold scenes, she has also revealed her parents' reaction to her role in the film.

Did Triptii's parents object to her bold Animal role?

In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Triptii shared that her parents were "taken aback" after seeing her much-talked-about intimate scene with Ranbir Kapoor in Animal, and told her that she "shouldn't have done it".

"My parents got a little taken aback. (They said) ‘We have never seen something like this in films and you have done it.’ It took them time to get over that scene. They were very sweet to me though. They were like, ‘You shouldn’t have done that… but it’s okay. As parents, we will feel this,’” the Qala actress said.

She further shared how she told her parents that it was her responsibility as an actor to make that part as honest as possible. “I told them I am not doing anything wrong. It’s my job and as long as I am comfortable and safe, I don’t see any problem in that. I am an actor and I have to be 100 percent honest with the character that I play and I did that,” she added.  

Triptii says she will play her characters with "utmost honesty"

A week after the release of Animal, Triptii's Instagram following went from over 600K to 2.4 million, In an interview with IANS, Triptii said that for her, it is really important as an actor, to not judge the character that she is playing.

“I think this is something that I've learned in my acting classes from my acting coach: that every time you do a character, you're given a character to play, play it with utmost honesty,” said the actress, who made her debut in 2017.

She added, “Even if your character is killing people or your character is doing something bad or harming someone, you have to feel everything that the character is supposed to feel because he's also coming from someplace, and in his head, the actions that he's taking are justified.”
