Triptii Dimri has become the national sensation ever since the release of Animal. Her chemistry with Ranbir Kapoor in the Sandeep Reddy Vanga directorial is being widely loved by all. While Triptii has been ruling hearts and headlines ever since the film hit theatre, she has now also become the most “Popular Indian Celebrity”.

On Wednesday, IMDb released the weekly edition of the “Popular Indian Celebrities Feature” and Triptii Dimri topped the list. She is followed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga. Other celebrities in the list include The Archies star Suhana Khan and Kushi Kapoor, director Zoya Akhtar, Dunki director Rajkumar Hirani and Yash.

Triptii has been breaking several records ever since she featured as Zoya in Animal.

Animal revolves around a man and his toxic relationship with his father. Directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, it shows Vijay (played by Ranbir) as an anti-hero who would go to any lengths to protect his father. However, despite his efforts, he struggles to get a seal of approval from his emotionally unavailable father (played by Anil Kapoor). His unhealthy relationship with his father impacts his relationship with his wife (played by Rashmika Mandanna).

Several celebrities including Ram Gopal Varma, Karan Johar, Riddhima Kapoor, Vicky Kaushal and Allu Arjun among others have also praised Animal. The film has also been accused of glorifying misogyny and toxic masculinity by several social media users. However, despite everything, the film is going immensely well at the box office. It is inching close to the Rs 500 crore mark at the Indian box office.
