People made fun of Tripti Dimri in the song 'Mere Mehboob', Tripti said that not everyone is perfect in everything

Times of discover News: Ripti Dimri rose to stardom slowly after 'Beast', but she is best known for her strong performances in films like 'Bulbul'. With her unique charm and dedication, she instantly caught attention and gained a loyal fan base. But her recent foray into dance numbers has sparked controversy, drawing a great deal of public scrutiny.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Tripti spoke about the response she received for her dance performance in the song 'Mere Mehboob' from the upcoming film 'Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video'. The song features Rajkummar Rao and she faced trolling on social media. Fans pointed out her dancing skills and said she lacked the talent required for such performances.

Tripti expressed surprise at the intensity of the criticism and stressed that mistakes are part of the learning process. “As an actor I try to do something different. At first, I thought that to become an actor you just need to know how to act, and you are good,” she said.

The song 'Mere Mehboob', choreographed by Ganesh Acharya, has a sequence where Tripti performs a dance move, which involves lying down on the floor and lifting one leg in a circular motion. This particular choreography was heavily criticised by netizens, with many calling it "disrespectful" and "degrading".

Despite this setback, Tripti remains committed to her art. Reflecting on her journey as an actress, she says acting was not her main passion initially. She said, "When things got real, I realised that when you are offered a show, you need to know how to walk the talk; When you are offered a dance number, you should know how to dance properly."

The 'Kaala' actress also discussed how she deals with criticism. When told that she cannot act because of her expressive abilities, she shared a practical perspective: "Your body always gives you signals... From that day onwards, I decided to follow my heart. I did," recalling her decision to continue even though playing roles that are questionable from the outside.

She added: "I have to try everything. But one can't be good at everything. But what's the harm in trying? You have to give whatever you can; now you're here. I didn't realise it (at the time of shooting). It was my first dance number, I had never really done a dance number like that before. And I didn't think it would get the kind of response it did. But it's okay; it happens to everyone. Some things people like, some things people don't like. But that doesn't mean you stop trying.
