National crush to national punching bag?

History is testimony to the fact that fame has rarely come without its share of criticism. For Animal actor Triptii Dimri, however, this share certainly appears to be skewed. The actor, who finds herself courting a new controversy each day, has invited trouble yet again after she failed to turn up at a Jaipur event that she was apparently paid to attend. However, a statement issued on behalf of Dimri—who is currently on a promotional spree for her film Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video—presents a different tale. “[She] honoured her professional obligations, attending all scheduled events related to the film. Notably, she did not commit to participate in any personal appearances or events beyond her promotional duties. No additional payments were accepted for her involvement in these activities,” the statement read. It is suggested that Dimri received a deal of R5.5 lakh for the event. In a video that was widely circulated, at the event, Dimrii’s poster was defaced by upset attendees.
