Bollywood actress Tripti Dimri, known for her impressive performances, was embroiled in controversy after accusations surfaced claiming she had taken Rs. 5 lacs from a women’s group in Jaipur for an event she allegedly skipped. However, the actress has now broken her silence, and new developments suggest the situation is more nuanced than initially reported.
Tripti was in Jaipur today promoting her upcoming film Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video with co-star Rajkummar Rao. As part of the day’s packed schedule, she was expected to attend a women’s empowerment event organized by FICCI FLO after her promotional activities. Following this, she was set to travel back to Mumbai for Manish Malhotra’s fashion show later in the evening. The women’s group organizing the event claimed Tripti accepted Rs. 5 lacs for her appearance but failed to attend, leading to disappointment and frustration among the attendees. Viral videos showed the group protesting, and they have since called for a boycott of both Tripti and her upcoming film.
However, in a statement released by Tripti’s spokesperson, the actress denied these allegations, asserting that she “fully honored her professional obligations.” The statement clarified that Tripti attended all events and sessions related to the film’s promotional campaign, and did not commit to any personal appearances or events beyond her promotional duties. Furthermore, the statement emphasized that “no additional fees or payments were accepted for her involvement in these activities.” This directly contradicts the accusations made by the group, suggesting that there may have been a miscommunication or misunderstanding about Tripti’s role in the event.
Sources familiar with the situation have also confirmed that Tripti did not personally receive any money. Instead, it was likely the event organizers or an intermediary group responsible for handling her schedule, security, and appearances who were involved in the financial arrangements. It’s possible that traffic delays and a tight schedule forced her to skip the event, though the group organizing the event remains adamant that they were informed she would arrive soon before she eventually canceled.
The FICCI FLO group, angered by her absence, has threatened legal action and continued to urge the public to boycott her film. They claim the agreement for her appearance was made at Rs. 5.5 lacs and have voiced their frustration over what they perceive as a breach of trust.
Tripti Dimri’s upcoming film Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video is a comedy revolving around a lost sex tape of a newly married couple from the 1990s, and it has been generating buzz ahead of its release. Alongside Rajkummar Rao and Tripti, the film also features a strong cast including Mallika Sherawat, Vijay Raaz, and Archana Puran Singh.
While the controversy continues to brew, Tripti’s team maintains her innocence, stating that she adhered to her professional commitments and that the claims against her are unfounded. As more details emerge, it is clear that celebrity schedules are often tightly controlled, and the involvement of third parties can sometimes lead to misunderstandings. The situation remains unresolved for now, but Tripti’s official denial sheds light on what could have been a case of miscommunication rather than malfeasance.
