Triptii Dimri on the “Lick My Shoe” controversy

In an exclusive chat with Pinkvilla, Triptii Dimri opened up on how she reacts to the “Lick My Shoe” controversy from her latest film Animal alongside Ranbir Kapoor which is creating a lot of buzz on social media currently. She mentioned that while filming the scene, there were several discussions about it. She emphasized the perspective of looking at a character as a unique individual. She has previously stated that it's essential to humanize characters, as they too are reacting based on the life experiences they've had. 

She added, “Sometimes, there is good, bad, ugly in all of us, we have a dark side and sometimes we react out of that and that only happens when something major has happened in life and its the experiences that we have growing up that shapes us as a person. Sometimes you go too dark, sometimes you’re not right? You’re only playing in the middle somewhere and that similar way you have to hunmanize your character a well.” She emphasized that when portraying a character, it's about delving into their life and understanding their actions through their own lens of life. She stressed that viewers should perceive such scenes from that perspective.

She further added, “I as tripti won’t go and lick someone’s shoe if someone asks me i would be very offended but for zoya maybe she felt like doing it because zoya is not tripti and she has her own reasons to do it.” 

She also mentioned that when you commit to a project, you embrace the director's vision and trust in the world they are constructing. She emphasized that questioning and judging your character, a lesson taught in acting classes, hinders your performance, as being fully present in the role requires letting go of judgment.
