It looks like the internet is divided yet again, this time over the choreography in the latest song Mere Mehboob from Vicky Aur Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video. The sultry number, featuring Rajkummar Rao and Triptii Dimri, is grabbing attention—but for all the wrong reasons. While the catchy beats might have fans tapping their feet, it’s the choreography, particularly Triptii’s, that has left social media buzzing with criticism and a touch of sympathy.
Too Hot to Handle? More Like ‘Too Cringe’ to Watch
Choreographed by the usually reliable Ganesh Acharya, Mere Mehboob has fans shaking their heads, and not in sync with the rhythm. The spotlight is on Triptii Dimri, who was seen in a sultry, uncharacteristic avatar, performing a series of provocative moves that many netizens are calling “cringe” and “awkward.” From pelvic thrusts to floor gyrations, the choreography has become a hot topic of debate on Twitter and Reddit, where clips of the dance have been widely shared.
One Reddit user bluntly stated, “This is embarrassing for Triptii. So cringe.” Meanwhile, another chimed in with a more extreme opinion: “The choreographer needs to be put in jail! What are they making her do?” Clearly, the internet isn’t holding back its verdict.
Animal’s Shadow Looms Large Over Triptii’s Career
The real gossip? It seems Triptii Dimri can’t seem to escape the shadow of her bold performance in Animal. Some fans feel that the intimate scenes from that film have typecast her in a way that’s hard to shake. “One bold scene, and now they’re making her repeat these moves in every project,” a fan tweeted, highlighting the struggle many actresses face after delivering bold, breakout performances.
The chatter doesn’t stop there. Many fans have expressed disappointment, suggesting that Mere Mehboob feels like a step backward for an actress who has proven her acting chops in films like Qala and Bulbbul. One Twitter user lamented, “From Laila Majnu and Qala to THIS? Her downfall is kinda crazy, man.” Another fan added a comparison: “She deserves roles like Deepika and Priyanka, but she’s getting ones like Nora and Malaika.” Yikes!

Can Triptii Move On From ‘Mere Mehboob’?
Despite the negativity surrounding the choreography, Triptii Dimri has her loyal supporters. Many feel that the actress is being let down by poor creative decisions rather than a lack of talent. But will she be able to shake off the ‘bold’ label that Animal seems to have imprinted on her career?
Some believe it’s time for the actress to pivot toward more nuanced roles, where her acting skills take center stage. After all, her rise to fame was rooted in roles that showcased her depth and talent, not just her ability to dance provocatively.
The Bigger Picture: A Sex Tape Comedy?
To add another layer of intrigue, Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video itself is a comedy centered around the lost sex tape of a newlywed couple. The film’s bold premise could be what led to the edgy choreography in Mere Mehboob, but whether it aligns with Triptii’s image remains to be seen. The movie, which stars Rajkummar Rao, Mallika Sherawat, Vijay Raaz, and Archana Puran Singh, promises to be an irreverent comedy, but will it be able to redeem itself in the eyes of Triptii’s fans?
As the internet continues to buzz with opinions, one thing is clear: Triptii Dimri is at a crossroads in her career. Will she embrace the bold and sensuous roles, or will she pivot back to the critically acclaimed performances that made her a household name? Only time—and perhaps her next movie—will tell.
For now, it seems Triptii is stuck in the hot seat, and not everyone is loving the heat.
