Triptii Dimri has officially dethroned Bollywood’s titans to claim the top spot on IMDb’s Most Popular Indian Stars of 2024 list. Yes, she’s standing tall above Deepika Padukone and even Shah Rukh Khan, and honestly, the internet is losing it (and rightfully so).
From playing fierce characters to owning every frame she’s in, Triptii’s journey from an underrated gem to a celebrated star has been nothing short of inspiring. Her breakout moment this year? Her stellar performance in Animal alongside Ranbir Kapoor. But that’s not all, with three back-to-back hits (Bad Newz, Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video, and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3), she solidified her place as the industry’s rising powerhouse.
Talking about the recognition, Triptii shared, “Being ranked No. 1 on IMDb’s Most Popular Indian Stars of 2024 list is an incredible honour.
