Tripti took to Instagram on Monday to talk about the same. The actress also spoke about the difference between her real-life personality and her on-screen character in “Bulbbul”.
“Growing up, I was extremely different from the character I play in ‘Bulbbul’. I was not an extrovert at all! She’s curious and excitable and I was the opposite of it. I was very shy and I never felt comfortable participating in school functions and activities. I even hated getting doubts cleared in class because I didn’t like having all those eyes on me.”
“Something changed when I got to college. I realised it’s time I take to the stage and face the world. I became more involved in college activities and even joined a modelling agency, which turned out to be the door that opened these opportunities for me. I remember putting off giving my first audition because the thought of facing the camera terrified me. Surprisingly, I did well and I got selected, which led to my debut movie ‘Poster Boys’.”
“From being uncomfortable with so many eyes on me to now feeling at home on a set, I’ve come a long way. I am here because I chose to fight my fear and get out of my comfort zone. I chose to trust myself and stopped listening to my insecurities. I’m still nervous in new situations, I still fumble but I now know you can always overcome those fears and give it your all.”
“Remember, fear is just a feeling and no feeling is permanent. Fight it even if you fail. You can always get back up and try again. I’m glad I chose to fight,” Tripti wrote on Instagram.
She also shared a photo of her character Bulbbul’s childhood (played by child actor Ruchi Mahajan) and the grown up Bulbbul (played by herself) in the horror flick. Tripti also shared a throwback photo from her childhood.
Meanwhile, netizens are demanding to #BoycottNetflix on Twitter as they find the Bengali folk song “Kalankini Radha” used in the film and its English subtitles offensive to Hindu religious sentiments.
