Parambrata on Triptii Dimri’s ‘national crush’ tag

During a rapid-fire round, Parambrata was asked to rank his female co-stars based on their talent. He placed Triptii Dimri at the bottom, with Vidya Balan ranked as the most talented. Commenting further on her ‘national crush’ tag, the actor remarked that such titles are fleeting, but true talent is enduring. He said, “It is what it is; national crushes are temporary, but class is permanent. I mean, no offence. Sorry. What is she called? Bhabhi 2!”

He also drew a comparison with Vidya Balan, saying, “She is lovely, a very nice girl, and I really get along with her. But she still has miles to go. She entered the industry very young and will learn a lot. But Vidya, I mean, sorry to say, is a class apart in whatever she does.”
