Trupti Dimri was a part of several films before rising to fame with Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal last year. She started 2024 by sharing the screen with Vicky Kaushal and Ammy Virk in Bad Newwz, which became one of the highest-grossing Hindi films of the year. Looking at her work on the big screen, it is hard to believe that there was a time when she did not know the basics of acting. When she was filming Laila Majnu, the actress would go home and cry because she couldn’t understand what her director or co-star was talking about.
That video of Vicky Vidya is from Trupti Dimri’s upcoming comic film with Rajkummar Rao. Amidst the promotions of the film, the actress talked about not knowing the nuances of acting when she moved to Mumbai from her hometown Garhwal in Uttarakhand. She just wanted to do something that was different. The Kaala actress told The Hollywood Reporter India that she was never good academically and had told her parents that she would try her hand at modeling. While she wanted to move to the city of dreams, her parents were initially afraid of her decision as she was a shy and introverted person who had never stepped out of Delhi.
Despite his parents not being happy with his decision to enter the entertainment industry, he decided to give it a try. Years later, he got a role in the 2017 film, Poster Boys. But it was difficult for him to work with Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol and Shreyas Talpade because they did not even know the art of acting. Therefore according to him he did not perform well in it. In the chat, the Bulbul star recalled landing Laila Majnu despite being rejected in her first attempt.
After getting the role, Trupti will attend workshops with her director Sajid Ali and co-star Avinash Tiwari. As they discussed the acting, backstory, and characterization for the film, she sat blank-faced, not knowing anything. “I’ll go home and cry thinking, ‘Am I doing the right thing?’ Because I didn’t understand what they were saying or their language,” the actress said, adding that a part of her wanted to quit the job.
