During a Mumbai event for O Romeo, fans overwhelmed Shahid Kapoor as they surrounded him in large number for a photograph.
Bollywood actors Triptii Dimri and Shahid Kapoor are currently busy promoting their upcoming film, O Romeo. During a song launch event in Mumbai, Shahid was surrounded by fans who rushed onto the stage to click pictures with him and get his autograph. However, the fans appeared to completely ignore Triptii, who was also standing on stage, leading to what internet called an “awkward” moment. The video soon surfaced on Reddit, with several users reacting to it.
Fans ignored Triptii Dimri at O Romeo song launch?
During the event, Shahid and Triptii danced together to the song Paan Ki Dukaan. Later, Shahid invited a few fans on stage to dance with them. However, the fans rushed to click pictures with Shahid and paid little attention to Triptii. She eventually moved to one side, leaving Shahid amid his enthusiastic fans and watching the frenzy from the edge of the stage.
As the video went viral, some Reddit users commented, “This is the answer to everyone who hypes Triptii for literally existing and questions Shahid’s popularity. Shahid is really, really popular at the ground level, and Triptii is not even known to a lot of people.” While some defended Triptii, one user wrote, “That’s literally Shahid Kapoor, the heartthrob of the 2000s, the chocolate boy. Triptii is popular, but Shahid is more. Also, it looks like he arrived later, after Triptii was done clicking pictures with fans, so one can’t judge her.” Another commented, “A 23+ years’ work experience actor versus five-plus years for Triptii. She gained popularity post-pandemic in the aggressive social media era, while Shahid built his fan base during Bollywood’s golden era in the 2000s. They are not comparable.”
Shahid became a sensation overnight with his debut film Ishq Vishk in 2003. He went on to build a massive fan base with films such as Vivah, Jab We Met, Kismat Konnection, Kaminey and Haider, among others. Triptii, on the other hand, gained recognition with Laila Majnu and Bulbbul, but it was her brief cameo in Animal that catapulted her to fame and turned her into an internet sensation.
