Ravi Kishan says Maa Behen freed Triptii Dimri from her Animal image: “Thank God this film came into her life”

Triptii Dimri has been mostly known for one role for almost two years.Ravi Kishan thinks that part of her story is now over.

Ravi Kishan said the film Maa Behen helped Triptii Dimri move away from her image as the character from Animal.
He said, "Thank God this film came into her life."


Ravi Kishan praised Triptii Dimri for her versatility.
The actor, who worked with Triptii in Maa Behen, talked about how the Netflix film changed how people saw her.In an interview with NDTV, he said the project gave viewers a chance to see her acting in a different light, beyond the image created by Animal.

He felt relieved that she finally had a role where she could show a different side of her acting.
"Thank God this film came.Thank God Tripti Dimri’s life got this film, Maa Behen, which took her out of the Animal image," he said, explaining that the film helped her break free from the role that made her famous.

From Animal's Zoya to a new identity  
Triptii’s big break came through Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s 2023 movie Animal, where she played Zoya Riaz, a woman connected with Ranbir Kapoor’s character Ranvijay Singh.
Although she didn’t have a lot of screen time, the character made her a major talking point online, giving her the "national crush" label.

The role also received some criticism for its intimate scenes, which led to discussions about her creative decisions.


Madhuri Dixit's underrated performances, according to Ravi Kishan  
Ravi Kishan also highlighted Madhuri Dixit, saying her acting is often overlooked because of the huge success of her songs.
He mentioned songs like "Dhak Dhak" and "Choli" as examples of hits that overshadowed her more skilled performances.

"Madhuri ma’am’s name is so big.
Songs like 'Dhak Dhak' and 'Choli' became so popular that her best performances got forgotten.Thank God this film came along.It reminded people that she also did romantic films and that she has given so many different kinds of performances.This film has done a great job," he said.

Maa Behen is directed by Suresh Triveni.
It stars Madhuri Dixit, Triptii Dimri, Ravi Kishan, Dharna Durga, Geetanjali Kulkarni, Arunoday Singh and Shardul Bhardwaj.The film premiered on Netflix on June 4, 2026, and keeps getting attention for its performances and character development.
