Cinema –  As O’Romeo arrived in cinemas on February 13, actor Triptii Dimri marked the occasion by sharing an emotional note about the journey behind the film and the people who helped shape it.

Triptii Dimri Opens Up About Playing Afshan

With the film now before audiences, Triptii spoke about her experience portraying Afshan, a character she described as layered and emotionally intense. In a message posted on Instagram, the actor reflected on the complexity of the role, saying Afshan embodies both strength and vulnerability. According to Triptii, stepping into the character required her to explore a wide range of emotions and push her personal boundaries as a performer.

She noted that the role demanded complete sincerity and a willingness to embrace discomfort. The experience, she shared, has left a lasting impact on her approach to acting. For Triptii, Afshan was not merely a part in a script but a living presence whose emotional truth had to be understood and conveyed with care.

Learning from Vishal Bhardwaj

Triptii also expressed appreciation for director Vishal Bhardwaj, crediting him with guiding her through the creative process. She highlighted the director’s ability to help actors immerse themselves fully into their characters. Under his direction, she said, she learned the importance of surrendering to the story and trusting the emotional arc of the narrative.

O’Romeo marks another collaboration between Bhardwaj and Shahid Kapoor. The actor-director duo previously worked together on Kaminey, Haider and Rangoon. Their past projects have been noted for their distinctive storytelling style, and this latest release continues that creative association.

Beyond the lead pairing, Triptii acknowledged the contributions of fellow cast members. She mentioned working closely with Avinash Tiwary, recalling how their on-screen journey evolved from romance to rivalry within the storyline. She also praised Vikrant Massey for bringing depth and authenticity to every scene he appeared in.

The actor extended her appreciation to veteran performers such as Farida Jalal and Nana Patekar, describing the opportunity to work alongside them as memorable. She also acknowledged the presence of Tamannaah Bhatia and Disha Patani, noting that each member of the ensemble added value to the project.

A Collective Effort Behind the Film

Triptii emphasized that filmmaking is a shared endeavor requiring commitment from every department. From actors and technicians to the broader production team, she said the project was driven by passion and belief in the story being told. The actor expressed pride in the collective effort that brought O’Romeo to the big screen.
