Hansal Mehta Praises Triptii Dimri’s Compelling Presence, Says It Unsettles ‘Insecure’ Male Stars

Hansal Mehta Praises Triptii Dimri: Filmmaker Hansal Mehta has added a new chapter to his earlier X post, in which he stated that Bollywood should seriously consider investing in new and skilled actors to develop interesting films.

Hansal has now included a list of female actresses who require greater attention in his latest post, which was released on Thursday.

In his list, he named actor Triptii Dimri, and said that she is so ‘compelling’ on screen that it gives insecurity to her male co-stars.

Hansal began his new X post by noting, “Women in Hindi cinema deserve more recognition—and, more importantly, better roles. So, here’s a list. Not exhaustive, not definitive, but a small selection of female actors who, in recent years, have stood out through their work. This isn’t about box office numbers, social media engagement, or PR-driven stardom. This is about craft, presence, and the ability to break through a system that still prioritizes glamour over substance.”

In his list, Hansal praised Triptii and said, “From an indie favorite to a mainstream sensation—Triptii Dimri has done it on her own terms. Bulbbul and Qala proved that she has the presence and gravitas to carry a film, while Animal showed that she can hold her own in a testosterone-fueled blockbuster. She has the potential to break out the way Kangana Ranaut did in her early films—an actor so compelling that she unsettles insecure male stars. What she needs now is opportunity, and filmmakers who stand by her without succumbing to their male star dependence.”

In the 2017 thriller Mom, Triptii made her Bollywood debut. The romance drama Laila Majnu (2018) featured her in her first leading role. Animal (2023), starring Ranbir Kapoor, was her breakthrough performance. She starred in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video, and Bad Newz last year.
