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."
