Mumbai: Artistes should be aware of their strengths and weaknesses, believes actor Tripti Dimri as she aims to not restrict herself but become a better actor by trying her hands on anything new and challenging.
The actor, who shot to fame with her stellar performance in 'Netflix' supernatural thriller 'Bulbbul', said it's essential for artistes to explore different worlds and characters.
"I am trying to do different genres because, as actors, it's important to step out of our comfort zone and that's what helps you better your craft," Dimri, whose upcoming projects include a romantic movie with Vicky Kaushal and Ranbir Kapoor-led 'Animal', told the top news agency.
She added, "When I did this film with Vicky, I was scared because it's a completely different character and I had to unlearn so many things and learn a lot of new things. It was challenging. I was happy as I knew what my limitations were as an actor and what I needed to work on."
Dimri made her acting debut with 2017's comedy-drama 'Poster Boys' and went on to star in the Imtiaz Ali-produced romance feature 'Laila Majnu'. But it was Anvitaa Dutt's 'Bulbbul', a period supernatural thriller, that brought her to the notice of the audiences.
The 28-year-old actor said she enjoys the process of bringing varied characters to life with every movie. Acting allows looking at life and understanding pain from a different perspective, she added.
"It's a beautiful part of being an actor. It somehow allows looking at life and pain from a different person's perspective. When you do that, it helps you understand yourself better and it makes you a more compassionate human being. These are good things that come out of acting."
Dimri is currently receiving praise for her performance in the titular role in 'Qala', which reunites her actor with 'Bulbbul' director Dutt. Set in the late 1930s and early 1940s, the movie follows the story of a young playback singer Qala Manjushree of the 1930s and 1940s in India.
