After her immense success through Animal, Triptii Dimri made a solid mark on the audience. This was followed by other successful projects like Bad Newz and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. Regardless of all this, fans were excited to see the actress opposite Kartik Aaryan in Anurag Basu’s Aashiqui 3. While rumours of her leaving the project were afloat, a recent report says that she was kicked because of her bold scenes in Animal.
Triptii Dimri Kicked Out Of Aashiqui 3?
After many rumours of Triptii Dimri leaving Anurag Basu’s Aashiqui 3 starring Kartik Aaryan, a recent Zoom report said that it was the other way around. The report said that she was removed because she didn’t fit into the world of Aashiqui due to her bold image in Animal. It also said that the makers were looking to cast a fresh face which was innocent and not so exposed. The makers felt that the film, which has romance at its core, required someone who was not so bold. Triptii didn’t fit as her last few films didn’t turn out profitable and thus was removed from it.
“The fundamental requirement to be the heroine of Aashiqui 3 is innocence reflecting through and as observed by the team behind the film, Triptii Dimri with her recent films has become too exposed to be cast in this romantic film which demands purity in demeanour from the female lead. Aashiqui is a legendary, soulful love story and the makers do not see Tripti fitting the parameters,” the source told Zoom.

This situation reeks of patriarchy in the way it imposes narrow and outdated ideals of “innocence” and “purity” on female actors, especially when it comes to romantic films. The claim that Triptii Dimri is “too exposed” or “too bold” reflects a double standard, where male actors can transition across diverse roles without such scrutiny, while women are penalized for breaking out of stereotypical moulds. This obsession with projecting an “ideal” of femininity not only limits actresses but also perpetuates the regressive notion that a woman’s value in cinema—and romance—is tied to how demure or unblemished she appears to be.
