New Delhi: In a recent episode on The Great Indian Kapil Show, Sunil Grover mocked actress Triptii Dimri for her bold scenes in ‘Animal’ with Ranbir Kapoor. Netizens are not pleased with Sunil Grover's jokes, which he delivers while dressed as Dafli. Triptii Dimri was there on the comedy reality show with her 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3' co-stars Kartik Aaryan and Vidya Balan.
According to a video that went viral after being posted by Kapil Sharma's show's streaming partner, Netflix, Sunil Grover's character jokingly asked about Triptii Dimri's intimate scenes in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s ‘Animal’. Sunil Grover’s on-stage character Dafli started the conversation by asking, "Aap ho jo Aminal (Animal) picture mein thi?" Triptii replied, "Ji main hi thi."
"Yeh jo aapne Ranbir Kapoor ke saath kiya hai, I hope woh sirf shooting thi; aise asli mein toh kuch nahi tha na?" Dafli said provocatively. In response, Triptii Dimri said that it was fake and laughed it off.
