Triptii Dimri has responded to the controversies that erupted following the release of Animal. Among the cast of the film are Bobby Deol, Rashmika Mandanna, and Ranbir Kapoor. After opening in theaters on December 1, Animal has generated a lot of buzz among moviegoers. Although many praised the performances of each actor in the film, Triptii Dimri appears to have made her breakthrough in acting during this period of her career. 

Remarkably, while a lot of people have praised Animal’s plot, some moviegoers have called the movie “misogynistic,” which has caused controversy. Triptii Dimri recently discussed people’s perceptions of the film and said that, even though it’s acceptable for everyone to have their own opinions, people should avoid watching Animal if it doesn’t appeal to them.

‘It’s a long discussion’: Triptii Dimri after audience term Animal ‘misogynistic’

Animal sparked a number of heated debates when it was released earlier this month. Some people called certain scenes in the film “misogynistic,” such as the one in which Ranbir Kapoor’s character asks Dimri’s character to lick his shoe. Dimri recently expressed her opinion on the matter, stating that people shouldn’t watch a movie if certain parts of it don’t suit them. 

Triptii addressed the controversies and told The Quint, “It depends on person to person. If you’re watching an action film, and the goons are beating up the hero, that doesn’t mean you go and beat up whoever you hate in life. Or, if someone is talking rudely to his wife or girlfriend, that doesn’t give you the license to go home and start talking the same way to your wife, or girlfriend, or whoever.” 

She continued by saying that “it’s a long discussion” regarding the conflicting opinions expressed in Animal and that some viewers are impacted by the material and have the right to their own opinion because it’s their choice. On the other hand, one ought to refrain from watching something if they are unsuited for it. “If certain things don’t suit you, don’t watch them,” she shared.
