Since its release in December 2023, Sandeep Reddy Vanga`s `Animal` has been sparking controversies. Triptii Dimri attended the India Today Mumbai Conclave 2024 on September 25 and spoke about why she chose to play Zoya in the Ranbir Kapoor-starrer. In the film, she played a small role where she is sent to lure Ranbir`s character and keep him distracted. Her chemistry with Ranbir Kapoor in Vishal Mishra`s `Pehle Bhi Main` was one of the highlights of the film. Her portrayal of Zoya left a deep impact on the audience earning her the title of `national crush` and `Bhabhi 2`.

Triptii said, "For me, I don`t like staying in my comfort zone. With Bulbbul and Qala, I found that comfort, and while I love drama, being on those sets always energised me. However, when Animal came along, I found it truly challenging. As an actor, it`s important to take on something that pushes you. Every time I get a role, I feel like it`s both scary and challenging. That`s exactly how I felt when Sandeep sir explained Zoya`s character to me. She seemed both brave and innocent at the same time, and that excited me. I’m always looking for roles that offer something different."
