EXCLUSIVE: Triptii Dimri reveals NOT getting offers post Laila Majnu failure: Thought I’ve arrived but that didn’t happen

Actor Triptii Dimri is currently basking in praises for her recently released film, Qala which is currently streaming on Netflix. The actor made her Bollywood debut with Imtiaz Ali’s directorial venture Laila Majnu opposite Avinash Tiwary. However, the film did not fare well at the box office. Since her debut, Triptii completely left everyone stunned when she played the titular role in Bulbbul.

Nevertheless, during an exclusive with Bollywood Bubble, Triptii Dimri revealed that she was shocked to see the failure of Laila Majnu. The Qala star even said that she thought she has arrived in the industry with the release of Laila Majnu but that didn’t happen.

Triptii Dimri on Laila Majnu’s failure:

Triptii told us, “That came as a shock to me honestly because I thought Laila Manju released and I have arrived, that’s what I have thought in my head but that didn’t happen. I was like ‘oh my big feature film with Imtiaz Ali and Sajid Ali and Avinash Tiwary’, I was very excited about and I thought it is going to be great. It is such a beautiful story, I mean it is the best love story. Anyway, everyone like their own films. It was kind of disheartening at that time because I thought I don’t have to go for an audition now but that didn’t change, I didn’t get a lot of offers, the kind of offers that I was expecting so it did come as a shock.”

“There was a lot of time for me between Laila Majnu and Bulbbul there was almost 2 years. When you have done something na then it’s like the next thing you do, you have to be extremely careful. You can’t do something like Laila Majnu and then do something that you don’t believe in. You have to find the belief in your story and that was something I was not finding it, there were people around me who had good intentions but 10 people were giving me 10 different advice and as a newcomer, you can get confused, you can be like which way to go,” Triptii added further.

Triptii also mentioned that post the failure of Laila Majnu, she doubted her profession and being an actor. She also shared how people tried to stop her from doing Bulbbul and the success that the film and Qala brought her.
