Bollywood actress Triptii Dimri had been proving her mettle one film at a time, and then Animal landed in her lap. The Sandeep Reddy Vanga directorial, which faced severe backlash for its portrayal of masculinity and violence, opened new doors for her. It made her the new national crush but also left a section of the internet questioning her film choices. The actress, known for her strong female characters in Bulbbul, Laila Majnu, and Qala, faced criticism for playing "bhabhi no 2." The Bad Newz star has now spoken about the backlash.Triptii Dimri 'Cried A Lot' After Animal Backlash “Pre-Animal, there was no criticism. Post Animal, there has been a lot of criticism. I was not happy. But I suppose that’s the side effect of being in a mainstream film,” Dimri said on The Ranveer Allahbadia Show.Recalling how it took a toll on her mental health, she shared, “Bahot royi thi. Animal ke baad toh I was really (upset)... Do-teen din toh mai kaafi royi thi kyunki mujhe aadat nahi hai na yeh sab cheezon ki. Ki criticism face karna padega aur is level pe karna padega. Dimaag khraab hogaya tha ke kya likh rahe hain log. Matlabb kuch bhi!”(Loose translation: I cried a lot. After Animal, I was really (upset)... I sobbed for two-three days because I am not used to all this. I was not ready for the criticism. I never imagined I would have to face it and it will have to be done at this level. My mind was so messed up reading what people were writing. The rubbish comments!)How Triptii Dimri Dealt With Criticism“Then I spoke to my sister and she was like, 'Bro, own it. You have to own it. You know what you've done. You know how you've achieved what you've achieved.' And I think after that, I was fine. Once I started understanding things better, things changed,” she added. Meanwhile, on the work front, the actress is gearing up for her upcoming film Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video. It releases in theatres this Friday (October 11).
