Triptii Dimri on channelling Vidhi in Dhadak 2: She taught me to speak my truth

In her upcoming film Dhadak 2, actress Triptii Dimri steps into the role of Vidhi — a character who, on the surface, is fighting for love in the face of caste-based prejudice, but who also quietly champions self-expression and inner strength. For Triptii, the experience of portraying Vidhi became more than just a performance — it became personal.

Triptii Dimri on how her role in Dhadak 2 has changed her

The Animal actress reveals that Dhadak 2 gave her the courage to stand her ground and articulate her beliefs more openly — something she hadn’t done in the past. Referring to the character, Triptii says, “Vidhi is not afraid to speak her truth. There is so much to learn from her because she makes you feel empowered.”

Speaking about the role, Triptii says, “I have been an introvert. I’ve seen and faced things, and not raised my voice against them. For 30 years of my life, I have kept quiet about so many things. I never had the guts to tell people that it’s wrong. I told Shazia (Iqbal) that I want to be like Vidhi; that by the end of this film, I should have the courage to speak my truth without being scared of anyone or the outcome. Now, I do stand up for the right things. This film made me open up a lot more.”

Directed by Shazia Iqbal, Dhadak 2 is slated to release on August 1 and stars Triptii opposite Siddhant Chaturvedi. The film explores love across caste lines — a theme that, while political, is rooted in personal transformation for the actors involved. As Triptii reflects, “Some roles change you — Vidhi changed me.”

With upcoming projects including a Vishal Bhardwaj film opposite Shahid Kapoor and Spirit with Prabhas, Triptii Dimri seems to have a lot of interesting projects in her kitty.
