Tripti Dimri

“I thought I have no chance in films and so wanted to do TV. I was very confident that I might become a star on small screen.”

“It's very important to say no to stuff you don't like because then you won't be able to do justice to it.”

“Post 'Laila Majnu,' I was just sitting at home because I wanted to be part of a story that is as special as 'Bulbbul.'”

“Prepping for any character is the most important thing because if you don't know how she walks, talks or thinks, you can't do justice to it.”

“Honestly, I was not good in my debut film 'Poster Boys.' With my second film, 'Laila Majnu,' I was struggling with everything and I just felt lucky to even get the part.”

“I can't beg for work. One day or the other, you will get work.”

“I had said 'no' to a lot of projects, and that's when I got 'Bulbbul.'”

“I don't think I am that person who can just text people for the heck of work. I should be invested in that person otherwise I won't.”

“I like trekking and staying in tents, meeting new people and eating good food.”

“I have wanted to act, ever since I was a kid.”

“Can you blame star kids for that? If I'm somebody's daughter, and I'm being offered a film, why would I say no?”

“One day, I was auditioning for some other thing and my friend was auditioning for 'Laila Majnu.' She asked me to come with her so that we could leave together. While I was waiting, the guy who was taking the audition said, 'Why don't you give it a try.'”

“To be an actor, you have to have patience.”

“Outsiders don't get it easy. I was not even expecting to get a film.”

“As a child, I used to tell my mother that one day I will come on TV for one of the Ekta Kapoor shows, like 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi.'”

“I used to get very nervous and couldn't even pronounce my name in front of my camera.”

“The society in which we live in Delhi is conservative.”

“During childhood, I spent every summer vacation, visiting relatives in Chamoli district in Uttarkhand.”

“I am a very introvert person who cannot initiate a chat with a stranger.”

“I got into modelling simply because I wanted to avoid studies.”
