'Animal' actress Mansi Taxak on Tripti Dimri's character Zoya: 'I wouldn't behave like…'

Animal has been making all the right and even polarized noise at the box-office and social media. Even after three weeks, the film continues to draw reactions all actors and amid this, actress Mansi Taxak, who played Bobby Deol’s third wife in the film, has spoken about her character and the one played by Tripti Dimri.

In an interview with Siddharth Kanan, she said, “In a way, he was threatening me while asking for my consent. It’s very difficult to turn someone like Aziz down, especially if you see the mood he’s in. He’s just killed someone, and he’s holding a knife. Forget my character, even I would have said yes in that moment.”

The actress added, “But given the character dynamics, for sure, Aziz is a strong-headed person, but he has certain lines that he maintains. It was a threat, yes, but he was also asking me, and he got the answer he wanted.”

On Tripti Dimri’s character

As Triptii also said, she wouldn’t have behaved in the same way as Zoya, but that’s the kind of person Zoya is. Similarly, I wouldn’t behave like my character, who has fully submitted.

Talking about Animal, the film has entered the Rs 500 crore club and became the 4th Bollywood film to achieve this feat after Pathaan, Jawan and Gadar 2. The film also features Bobby Deol, Anil Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, Triptii Dimri, Suresh Oberoi, Prem Chopra and others in prominent roles. Since Shah Rukh Khan’s Dunki and Prabhas’ Salaar are arriving this week at the box office, Animal will face a solid screen crunch at the box office.
