Triptii Dimri On Dealing With identity Crisis

When asked if ever in life she faced an identity crisis, Triptii Dimri said, “Of course, I think especially for us, not just me, I think Siddhant must have gone through it too—when we started as actors here, we didn’t really know anyone. This world was completely new for both of us. And I think, initially, for the first year or two, I was dealing with it daily because I didn’t know how to conduct myself. I didn’t know how to fit in. I was constantly trying to fit in because the world I grew up in was completely different.”

She added, “I had found my comfort zone there, but when you push yourself out of your comfort zone and enter a new space, you realise just how much you don’t know and how unfamiliar everything is. In the process, sometimes, you lose yourself because you’re constantly trying to be someone else, trying to adapt to a new environment. I remember hanging out with my new Bombay friends and barely talking because I didn’t know how to talk or behave like them—it felt completely foreign. Now, of course, I’m more comfortable and confident in who I am. But there was a time when I was hiding parts of myself by simply staying quiet, and that was one of the most heartbreaking things I’ve done.”

Triptii Dimri Reveals People Trying To Bring Her Down

Triptii said, “I’ve always been an introvert, and those first two years in Bombay, I went back into my shell. I had felt that way before in school during the early grades, and I was feeling it again, and it was painful. But I believe the only way out is through. That phase taught me to grow, to accept myself, and to be proud of who I am. We’re all human, we have flaws, and that’s okay as long as we’re willing to work on them, to learn and grow. It’s okay to make mistakes. That’s what’s important.”

Concluding, she said, “I also met people in the beginning who tried to put me down, and now, when I see them, I don’t feel like giving them attitude or being mean; I just don’t want them in my life anymore. I don’t want negative energy around me. I want people in my life who are genuine and kind. And I’m grateful that I’ve found such people, those who liked me even when I wasn’t who I am today. For that, I consider myself very lucky, and I thank God for that difficult phase, because it taught me so much.”
