Triptii Dimri has made a subtle yet strong statement amid the ongoing controversy surrounding Spirit, director Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s next film starring Prabhas. The actress, who replaced Deepika Padukone as the film’s female lead, recently liked a social media reel that exposes “negative PR” and “false narratives” against Deepika. The move has sparked widespread discussion online, with many fans interpreting it as Triptii’s gesture of solidarity toward the Pathaan star.
The reel in question features celebrity saree draper Dolly Jain, who praised Deepika Padukone’s sheer dedication and resilience. In the video, Dolly recalled how Deepika performed the iconic “Nagada Sang Dhol” song from Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela barefoot, enduring bleeding and swelling on her feet due to the heavy 30 kg lehenga and intense choreography. Triptii’s simple “like” on the post was enough to catch fans’ attention, as it appeared to counter the online negativity surrounding Deepika since her exit from Spirit. Deepika Padukone was originally signed to star opposite Prabhas in Spirit, marking her first collaboration with Sandeep Reddy Vanga. However, the actress reportedly opted out after salary negotiations and scheduling demands could not be met. According to industry insiders, Deepika had requested limited working hours post-motherhood, a share of the film’s profits, and a higher fee, conditions that didn’t align with the production plan.
