In an exclusive interview with ETimes, Triptii Dimri recalls the struggle she had to face after the debacle of her film Laila Majnu which was backed by Imtiaz Ali, and before she did films like Bulbbul and Qala.She said, “When Laila Majnu was about to be released, I was buying vegetables at Pali market. I was living in a rented apartment, and was doing most things by myself and I was thinking my movie is going to be released and I won’t be able to step out as people would recognize me. But when the film was released, very few people went to see it, and I was literally heartbroken. I was offered films after that as well, but nothing was exciting. So I began working on my craft and attended many workshops – they kept me sane. And then, Bulbbul happened.”

“And when I was auditioning for Bulbbul, I was auditioning for a lot of things. And I got a call for it and met director Anvita Dutt. But there were a lot of people around me that told me that if you’ve done a theatrical release, then why are you doing a film for OTT?”

She carried on, “And at that time, Netflix had done just 8 films from India, and this was one of them, so that was a risk. And a lot of people were like, suddenly from theatres to OTT, why are you doing this? I said, I will do this film no matter what. I love the story. I love the character. And I will do it no matter what happens. It can tank. It can do well. I’m not thinking about all those things. I just want to experience this. And it was this movie that changed everything for me.”
