New Delhi, India
Since the release of Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Animal, actress Triptii Damri has become the most-discussed person on the internet; she has even been called the new national crush. In the excessively violent film, Triptii plays the pivotal role of Zoya, and her steamy scene with Ranbir's character has been widely discussed.
Recently, the Bulbbul actress talked about the scene, revealing how her parents reacted when they saw it.
Saying that her parents were 'little taken aback' by the scene, Dimri told Bollywood Hungama, “My parents got a little taken aback. They said, ‘We have never seen something like this in films and you have done it.’ It took them time to get over that scene. They were very sweet to me though. They were like, ‘You shouldn’t have done that but it’s okay. As parents, we will obviously feel this’.”

Talking about the bold scenes, Triptii revealed how they shot the scene.

In an interview with India Today, the actress said that nobody was allowed on the set and only five people were present while shooting the intimate scene.
“Luckily, in my case, I’ve been dealing with whether I was doing the rape scene in Bulbull (Netflix film) or this one, they kept asking me if I am okay. They also ensured that there were no more than five people, including the director, the DOP, and the actors during the scene. Nobody else was allowed on set, all the monitors were shut, and they were like, ‘This is the scene we are doing. If at any point you feel you’re uncomfortable, let us know. We’ll go at your pace. Every five minutes, Ranbir Kapoor was checking up on me and asking, ‘Are you okay, are you comfortable?’ I think these things really matter. People are sensitive to these things.”
