Tripti Dimri turned nostalgic while attending Myntra’s ‘Utsav’-themed event in Delhi, recalling childhood Diwali memories involving her father, society Ramleela performances and a family tradition of making sweets at home.
The Animal and Qala actress also spoke about her personal approach to fashion, explaining why comfort and confidence matter more to her than following expectations around celebrity style.
The fashion evening, co-hosted by Myntra and Meta, brought together celebrities, fashion creators and personalities including art collector Shalini Passi, Komal Pandey, Siddharth Batra, Kritika Khurana and Deeksha Khurana.
The event also highlighted the Myntra Creator Club, which operates through platforms including Ultimate Glam Clan and Myntra Studio and allows creators to produce shoppable content and participate in affiliate-led commerce.
Tripti Dimri Recalls Her Childhood Diwali
Speaking to ANI at the event, Tripti Dimri opened up about why Diwali and Dussehra remain particularly special to her.
The actress recalled participating in Ramleela performances organised by her father in their residential society when she was growing up.
“I mean there are many, many such memories… my favourite festival is of course, Diwali and Dussehra. This whole period is very exciting,” she said.
Dimri remembered occasionally forgetting her lines while performing and said her father would stay behind the curtains to quietly prompt her.
“And I used to participate in it, and there were times when I would forget my lines, and my dad would be, you know, behind the curtains, hiding behind and telling me my lines,” she recalled.
At the time, she said, she did not know that performing in those childhood events would eventually become connected to her professional life.
“I think I never knew at the time that I would actually become an actor… and I think that’s one of the memories that has always stayed with me,” Dimri said.
The memory offers a particularly personal connection to her acting journey: long before appearing on screen professionally, she was already experiencing the nervousness and excitement of performing in front of an audience.
From Homemade Sweets to Making Besan Laddoos Herself
Diwali also remains closely connected to food and family traditions for the actress.
Dimri said she enjoys Indian sweets, particularly jalebi and besan ke laddoo. She also recalled how her mother would prepare sweets at home during the festive season.
“And of course, food-wise, I love Indian sweets; I love jalebi, I love besan ke laddoo,” she said.
One family ritual has continued even when she is away from home during the festival.
“And now every time I’m not with my family, during the festival, I make besan ke laddoos myself,” she revealed.
The tradition has therefore evolved with her life. What was once a childhood memory of her mother preparing festive sweets has become something Dimri now recreates herself when she cannot celebrate with her family.
Tripti Dimri Says Confidence Matters More Than Fashion Pressure
The actress also addressed the expectations that come with being viewed as a fashion inspiration.
Dimri said she does not feel significant pressure to dress according to other people’s expectations.
“Not really, I think,” she said when asked about the subject.
Instead, she emphasised comfort and confidence as the foundation of her personal style.
“I never take that pressure, to be honest. I feel you’ve got to be comfortable in what you’re wearing. You got to feel confident always, and confidence is the best thing that you can wear,” Dimri said.
She described her personal style as relatively simple and said she prefers clothing that makes her feel comfortable and confident.
For events, she acknowledged that dressing up and making an effort is part of the occasion. Her everyday wardrobe, however, is considerably more relaxed.
“On my off day, I prefer wearing a loose shirt with loose pants, and that’s about it,” she said.
‘My Cart Will Always… Have 10, 20 Things’
Dimri also spoke about her relationship with online fashion shopping while discussing her association with Myntra.
She described fashion as something that is constantly changing and said shopping has been an important part of her life since she entered the acting profession.
“I think fashion is ever-evolving, and I’m so glad to be associated with a brand like Myntra because, you know, of course, anytime it’s been such an important part of my life since I’ve joined acting,” she said.
She also joked about the difficulty of sticking to a shopping budget once she starts browsing.
“I always go to, you know, buy one thing. I try to make sure that I don’t overspend, but then once you go in, you can’t stop yourself,” Dimri said.
She added that her online shopping cart can eventually contain “10, 20 things.”
Tripti Dimri’s Next Film Is Spirit
On the professional front, Tripti Dimri is set to appear alongside Prabhas in Spirit, the upcoming pan-Indian action thriller directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga.
Dimri was also recently associated with Netflix’s Maa Behen, adding another project to a growing filmography that has taken her from critically discussed performances to prominent mainstream projects.
For now, however, her comments at the Myntra event offered a glimpse of a more personal side of the actor—one rooted in childhood performances, homemade sweets, family traditions and a preference for keeping her everyday fashion comfortable.
Tripti Dimri’s comments in this report are based on her interaction with ANI at Myntra’s ‘Utsav’ event.
