Actor Triptii Dimri opened up about the criticism that she received for her dancing in the recently released song “Mere Mehboob,” from the film Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video, in which she stars opposite Rajkummar Rao. Triptii said in an interview that she didn’t see it coming, and stressed that making mistakes and learning from them is a part of the game. Triptii, who rose to fame after appearing in a supporting role in the film Animal, said that acting wasn’t her first love, nor was dancing.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, she was asked about the criticisms surrounding her dancing, and if she could tell while shooting that something was missing. She said, “Not really. As an actor, I’m trying to do different things. First, I thought that you only need to know acting to be an actor, and you’re sorted. When things got real, I realised that when you’re offered shows, you should know how to walk properly, when you get offered a dance number, you should know how to dance well…”
Triptii said that she’s still a work in progress. “I said, ‘I have to try everything’. But one can’t be good at everything. But what’s wrong in trying? You have to give it your best; you’re here now. I didn’t realise (while shooting). It was my first dance number, I haven’t really done one like this before. And I didn’t think that it would get the kind of response that it’s getting. But it’s fine; it happens to everybody. There are things that people like, there are things that people don’t like. But that doesn’t mean that you stop experimenting.”
Triptii admitted that she was in awe of her co-star, Rajkummar Rao’s ability to perform demanding scenes, just as she was awed by Vicky Kaushal’s dance moves when they worked together on the film Bad Newz. Directed by Raj Shandilyaa, Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video will be released in theatres on October 11.
In the same interview, Triptii also looked back on the criticism that she would attract for her acting skills, and opened up about how she filters positive response from the negative. Asked about the time when she was told she can’t act because her ‘eyes can’t emote’, Triptii said, “Your body is always giving you signs, I feel. Everybody told me not to do Bulbbul, but I wanted to do it even if I didn’t get paid. From that day on, I decided to follow my gut,” she said.
