Tripti Dimri Faces Renewed Online Scrutiny Ahead of Spirit

Actor Tripti Dimri has once again found herself at the centre of online debate as anticipation builds for Spirit, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga. The renewed scrutiny echoes the backlash she faced after Animal, where certain bold scenes and the nature of her role sparked intense social media criticism.

While Animal provoked strong reactions overall, much of the criticism was directed personally at Tripti rather than the narrative or its creators. As Spirit approaches release, similar concerns are resurfacing, with sections of the audience speculating about the film’s tone and whether it may once again rely on provocative storytelling elements.

Industry observers point out that such reactions reflect a recurring pattern in mainstream cinema, where female actors are disproportionately targeted for creative choices shaped by scripts and directorial vision. Supporters argue that performers should not bear the brunt of criticism for narrative decisions and that accountability must be viewed within a broader cinematic context.

The discussion has sparked wider conversations around artistic freedom, audience responsibility, and the unequal standards applied to actresses in commercial cinema. Whether Spirit will challenge these perceptions or reignite controversy remains to be seen, but Tripti Dimri’s presence in the film has already ensured that the spotlight—and debate—remains firmly on her.
