As her latest film O’ Romeo arrived in cinemas on February 13, Triptii Dimri took a moment to reflect on her journey and express gratitude to the cast and crew behind the project.
Sharing a heartfelt message on Instagram, the actress described her character Afshan as layered and emotionally intense. “Afshan isn’t just a character — she’s fire and fragility in the same breath. She feels deeply, loves fiercely, and fights with everything she has. This role challenged me, demanded honesty, and pushed me beyond my comfort zone,” Triptii wrote.
She also acknowledged director Vishal Bhardwaj for guiding her performance. According to Triptii, working with him taught her how to surrender completely to a character and fully embrace Afshan’s emotional truth.
Praise for Shahid Kapoor
Triptii reserved special appreciation for her co-star Shahid Kapoor, calling him “an incredibly hardworking and supportive co-star.”
“I had a wonderful time sharing the screen with him,” she wrote, highlighting the collaborative energy on set.
Appreciation for the Ensemble Cast
The actress also extended her gratitude to fellow cast members including Avinash Tiwary, Vikrant Massey, Farida Jalal, Nana Patekar and Tamannaah Bhatia.
She praised Avinash for sharing a dynamic arc from romance to rivalry, while noting Vikrant’s sincerity and craft in elevating scenes. Triptii described working alongside veteran actors like Farida Jalal and Nana Patekar as a special experience.
“I’ve always believed it takes a village to make a film. I’m proud of our entire cast and crew for putting their heart and soul into this,” she added, encouraging audiences to watch the film in theatres.
A Notable Collaboration
O’ Romeo also marks the fourth collaboration between Shahid Kapoor and director Vishal Bhardwaj after their earlier projects Kaminey, Haider, and Rangoon, making this reunion particularly significant for fans of their previous work.
With its theatrical release now underway, Triptii Dimri hopes Afshan’s story resonates deeply with viewers.
