Known for her impressive roles, especially in the 2023 film Animal, which skyrocketed her fame, Tripti has often credited her parents’ support as a major driving force behind her success.

Tripti Dimri Opens Up About Her Parents Hearing Hurtful Comments
There are many stereotypes and misconceptions surrounding the film industry, and Tripti Dimri and her family were no exception to their impact. After graduating, Tripti studied at the Film and Television Institute of India, Pune, to pursue her dream of becoming an actor. In a recent interview on Katrina Kaif’s brand, Kay Beauty, featured on YouTube, Tripti discussed how some people discouraged her from acting. She shared:
“I am from Uttarakhand, but I was born and brought up in Delhi, so my parents and family are in Delhi… it was difficult for me when I moved to Bombay, you know, to go out every day in front of more than 50-60 people in a room. There are people in the society and in my family also who said mean things to my parents.”
She further revealed that people warned her parents that no one would want to marry her, and she would fall into bad company. Many even questioned her parents’ decision to support her acting ambitions. Reflecting on her early struggles in Mumbai, Tripti admitted that there were times when she felt hopeless, but she was determined not to give up. She said:
“Things like ‘Why have you sent your daughter to this profession? She is going to get spoiled; she will hang out with the wrong people, she is going to make wrong choices for herself, no one is going to want to marry her, she is not going to get married now. There was a point when I was confused, because, you know, you lose hope when you get up and there is no work. But one thing I knew was that I could not go back to my parents and tell them, ‘No, I have not done it.'”
