Before the fame and fanfare, Dhadak 2 actress Triptii Dimri went through a deeply personal journey of self-discovery. In a candid reflection, she opened up about battling an identity crisis during her initial years in Mumbai—navigating an unfamiliar industry, feeling out of place, and slowly learning to embrace her true self.
Struggling to Fit In
When asked if she ever experienced an identity crisis, Triptii admitted while talking to Bollywood Bubble that she did—especially in her early years as an actor. She shared that both she and Siddhant Chaturvedi entered the industry without any connections, making the world of showbiz feel completely unfamiliar. For the first couple of years, she struggled daily with how to present herself and fit in, constantly trying to adjust to an environment vastly different from the one she was raised in.
Losing Herself to Adapt
The actress went on to explain that stepping out of her comfort zone and into the unfamiliar world of showbiz made her realize how much she didn’t know. In trying to adapt, she often felt like she was losing herself—constantly molding her behavior to fit in. She recalled spending time with her new friends in Mumbai but staying mostly silent, unsure of how to talk or act like them. It felt foreign and isolating. Though she’s now more confident and comfortable in her skin, she admitted that there was a time when she hid parts of herself simply by staying quiet—something she described as one of the most heartbreaking things she’s ever done.
An Introvert’s Growing Pains
She further shared that she has always been an introvert, and during her first two years in Mumbai, she found herself retreating into a shell—much like she had in her early school days. It was a painful phase, but one that pushed her to grow. She believes the only way out of such struggles is to go through them. That period taught her to accept herself, embrace her flaws, and take pride in who she is. According to her, it’s okay to make mistakes—as long as one is willing to learn, evolve, and keep moving forward.
Choosing Positivity Over Negativity
In conclusion, Triptii also reflected on the early days of her journey, sharing that she encountered people who tried to pull her down. However, she holds no grudges—she simply chooses not to keep such negativity in her life. Instead, she values genuine, kind-hearted individuals and feels fortunate to have found people who accepted her even before she became who she is today. For that, she expressed deep gratitude, adding that she thanks God for the tough phase, as it taught her valuable life lessons and helped shape the person she has become.
