Triptii Dimri, the breakout star of the recent blockbuster “Animal,” has set the rumor mill buzzing with speculation about her romantic life. Following the reported breakup with Anushka Sharma’s brother Karnesh Ssharma, the actress has been linked to model-turned-businessman Sam Merchant.
After the success of “Animal,” where Triptii’s performance garnered widespread acclaim, she has become a global sensation and earned the title of the national crush. Previously rumored to be in a relationship with Karnesh Ssharma, reports now suggest that the two have gone their separate ways. Triptii has recently shared pictures from a wedding, and among them is a selfie with Sam Merchant, intensifying dating speculations.
Who is Sam Merchant? Sam Merchant, according to his Instagram bio, is the founder of Waters Beach Lounge & Grill in Goa. He boasts an Instagram following that includes Disha Patani, Triptii Dimri, and Tiger Shroff. Starting as a model and winning the Gladrags Manhunt Contest in 2002, Sam later transitioned into business, establishing exotic beach clubs and hotels in Goa.
Triptii Dimri’s role as Zoya in “Animal” opposite Ranbir Kapoor has added to her popularity. Her Instagram following skyrocketed from 600k to 4 million shortly after the film’s release. Despite the success, the intimate scenes in the movie stirred controversy, prompting Triptii to address the criticism.
Speaking about the challenging scenes, she mentioned, “The rape scenes that I did in Bulbbul were more challenging to me as a person because you are just giving up, and giving up is more difficult than finding the courage to do something.” Triptii emphasized the importance of comfort on set and staying true to her artistic choices.
Meanwhile, “Animal,” directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, has received an overwhelming response from the audience. Starring Ranbir Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, Bobby Deol, and others, the film has shattered box office records, crossing Rs 800 crore worldwide.
