Triptii Dimri on Diwali nostalgia, fashion choices and why "confidence is the best thing you can wear"
Actress Triptii Dimri recalls childhood Ramleela memories and shares why confidence is her ultimate fashion accessory at a Myntra event in Delhi.
Bollywood star Triptii Dimri recently took a trip down memory lane during Myntra’s ‘Utsav’-themed event in Delhi. The Animal actress became visibly emotional as she shared heartfelt stories of her childhood Diwali celebrations and offered a glimpse into her personal philosophy on style and self-assurance.
Childhood Ramleela and Father's Support
Reflecting on her early years, Dimri revealed that her love for the stage might have had its roots in festive society plays. She fondly recalled how her father played a crucial role in managing her stage fright during childhood celebrations.
“My favourite festival is of course, Diwali and Dussehra. This whole period is very exciting. And as a kid, my dad used to organise Ramleela in the society. I used to participate in it, and there were times when I would forget my lines, and my dad would be behind the curtains, hiding, and telling me my lines,” she shared.
The actress admitted that at the time, she had no inkling that these small moments of performing in front of her neighbors would eventually lead to a professional acting career.
A Sweet Connection to Tradition
Beyond the stage, Dimri spoke about her deep connection to Indian festive treats. While she has a weakness for jalebis, she shared a special ritual that keeps her connected to her family traditions even when she is away from home.
She revealed that her mother used to make traditional sweets at home during the Diwali season. To keep that memory alive, the actress has mastered the art of making besan laddoos from scratch, a skill she uses to recreate that sense of home during the holidays.
Confidence: The Ultimate Fashion Statement
Addressing the pressures of being a style icon for millions of followers, Dimri dismissed the idea that she feels burdened by public expectations. For her, fashion is less about following trends and more about how a garment makes her feel internally.
“I never take that pressure, to be honest. I feel you've got to be comfortable in what you're wearing. You got to feel confident always, and confidence is the best thing that you can wear,” she stated. While she enjoys dressing up for high-profile events, she confessed that her off-duty wardrobe is much more relaxed, often consisting of nothing more than loose shirts and pants.
The Myntra Shopping Habit
Discussing her association with Myntra, the Qala actress joked about her inability to resist the temptation of online shopping. Despite her best intentions to stick to a budget, she admitted that her shopping carts often grow uncontrollably.
“I always go to buy one thing. I try to make sure that I don't overspend, but then once you go in, you can't stop yourself and my cart will always end up having 10, 20 things in it,” she laughed.
On the professional front, Triptii Dimri is gearing up for major projects, including the highly anticipated pan-Indian action-thriller 'Spirit', directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, where she will star alongside Prabhas.
