Triptii Dimri advocates for strong, realistic female characters in films like Maa Behen. She notes that audiences increasingly prefer relatable portrayals.
Triptii Dimri’s career has been built on characters which aren’t run-of-the-mill- from her debut as a lead in Laila Majnu, to Bulbul, to Animal, her highest-grossing release to date, and O’Romeo. And now, she’s set to be seen in Maa Behen, again a role which does not present her as a conventional heroine. During a conversation at HT City Stars In The City, in a candid chat with Sonal Kalra, Chief Managing Editor, a fan asked her whether audiences now prefer watching flawed characters on screen. Triptii replied, “Yes, people want to see more relatable characters, because everyone is flawed, nobody is perfect. Whether it’s me, or Madhuri (Dixit Nene, co star in Maa Behen) ma’am, nobody. When you see flawed characters on screen, you relate to them.” about the traditional representation of women in films, she continued, “Aaj kal filmon mein zyaadatar dekhte hain ki maa ek dum sacrifice karegi apne bacchon ke liye, bacchon na khaana nahi khaaya toh maa bhi nahi khaayegi… aisa real mein nahi hota hai. Maybe at some place, but it is not the norm.”
This is what pushes Triptii to look for headstrong characters, or even ones that don’t follow trends. Talking about Maa Behen in this context, the actor said, “I am sure when audiences watch the film and our characters Rekha, Jaya and Sushma being unapologetically themselves, they will surely relate to them. They will see a glimpse of themselves in these characters.”
Triptii, apart from Maa Behen, will next be seen in the film Spirit, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga and co-starring Prabhas. She also has Animal Park in hand, again helmed by Vanga.
