The recent appearance of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 cast members Kartik Aaryan, Triptii Dimri, Vidya Balan, and director Anees Bazmee on The Great Indian Kapil Sharma Show has stirred up discussions online. A viral clip from the episode showcases comedian Sunil Grover, in his comedic avatar as Dafli, engaging with Triptii Dimri and making light-hearted, albeit contentious, remarks regarding her intimate scenes with Ranbir Kapoor in the 2023 movie Animal.
In the clip, Sunil Grover humorously starts by asking, “Aap ho jo Animal picture mein thi?” to which Dimri confirms, “Ji main hee thi. Dekha, maine aapne kya kya bola hai mere baare mein.” Grover, maintaining his character’s playful tone, continues with, “Yeh jo aapne Ranbir Kapoor ke saath kiya hai, I hope woh sirf shooting thi; aise asli mein toh kuch nahi tha na?” Dimri responds with laughter, emphasizing that the scenes were indeed part of the film and not real.
Here is the video clip:
This moment has sparked mixed reactions among viewers. Some found the exchange inappropriate, arguing that it put Triptii Dimri in an uncomfortable position. Conversely, others defended the skit, pointing out that Sunil Grover’s character on the show is depicted as Ranbir Kapoor’s on-screen wife, adding context to the comedic setup. Previously, this character has been involved in similar sketches, including a mock wedding and a parody “suhagraat” scene with Ranbir Kapoor.
On Reddit, users debated whether such questions were rooted in a bias against outsiders in the industry. Some suggested that Dimri faced this line of questioning because she lacks the backing of an influential film family. They speculated that actors with established industry ties might have been treated differently in a similar situation.
