It's been seven years since Triptii Dimri stepped into the world of cinema, and she has since tasted success with her work in films like 'Qala' and 'Animal'. However, there was a time when the actress, now affectionately known as the national crush, did not take herself "so seriously as an actor." Triptii made her debut with 'Poster Boy' in 2017 and has subsequently featured in much-talked-about projects such as 'Laila Majnu', 'Bulbul', 'Qala', and 'Animal', earning her the title of 'National Crush'.

Reflecting on her journey, Triptii shared, "It's been very exciting. When I started off, I did not know that I would be working with such great actors and directors because I never took myself so seriously as an actor earlier." After her debut film, the actress left everything to fate.

"I thought, 'chalo, ek film mil gaya. Let's see if I get another one or not'. But luckily, the stars were in my favor, and I landed an audition for 'Laila Majnu'," said the actress, who hails from Garhwal, Uttarakhand.

Triptii revealed that she did not initially go to the auditions for Imtiaz Ali's 'Laila Majnu', which was released in 2018. Instead, she was spotted by the film's casting director. "I was not there to audition, but the casting director found me.

He said I looked Kashmiri and should audition for it, and that's how I got that film. That's when I thought maybe there is something for me here, and I should take it seriously." The 30-year-old star confessed that she had no formal training .
