The buzz surrounding the potential pairing of Kartik Aaryan and Triptii Dimri in Aashiqui 3 had fans excited. After the massive success of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, the pairing of these two young talents seemed like a natural progression for the much-awaited threequel of the iconic Aashiqui franchise. However, in a surprising turn of events, Triptii Dimri is no longer a part of the project.
The Animal Effect
Reports suggest that Triptii’s exit from Aashiqui 3 was due to differences with the team, but a source close to the film has now revealed that the actress didn’t fit the mould the makers envisioned for the female lead.
According to the insider, the main requirement for the role in Aashiqui 3 was a portrayal of innocence, a quality that the makers felt Triptii no longer embodied following her more
daring roles in recent films.
The source explained, “The fundamental requirement to be the heroine of Aashiqui 3 is innocence, reflecting through the character. As observed by the team, Triptii Dimri has become too exposed with her recent projects to fit the romantic tone that the Aashiqui franchise demands. This soulful love story requires purity in demeanor from the female lead, which the team felt Triptii no longer reflected.”
Box-Office Performance and Shift in Image
Triptii Dimri’s career trajectory has been fascinating to follow. She gained recognition in films like Laila Majnu, Bulbbul, and Qala, and soon became a rising star in the industry. However, it was her bold and unapologetic role in Animal (2023) that truly turned heads. While her portrayal was widely appreciated, some audiences criticized her departure from her earlier, more innocent image.
Despite the praise for Animal, Triptii's subsequent projects didn’t generate the same buzz. Films like Bad Newz and Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video failed to make a significant impact at the box office. It wasn’t until Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 that she was able to regain some momentum, with the film's success making waves. However, the source revealed that after Animal, Triptii hasn’t been able to recreate the box office magic on her own, which might have contributed to her exit from Aashiqui 3.
The Search for a New Face
With Triptii Dimri out of the picture, the search is now on for a new female lead who fits the Aashiqui legacy. Fans eagerly await to see who will be cast alongside Kartik Aaryan. A fresh face is expected, and the casting decision will be crucial in shaping the future of this beloved franchise.
The departure of Triptii raises questions about how her evolving image will impact her career moving forward. As Aashiqui 3 continues to build anticipation, it’s clear that the filmmakers are focused on finding a perfect fit for the delicate, innocent love story that has made the franchise a household name.
