After her debut film, Dimri left her career to fate, hoping for another opportunity.

"I thought, 'chalo, ek film mil gaya. Let's see if I get another one or not'. But luckily, the stars were in my favor."

Acting evolution
Dimri's self-taught acting journey and fan appreciation
Dimri confessed that she had no prior knowledge or training in acting. "I never took acting classes. I had no concept of good, bad, or overacting," she said.
It was only after wrapping up the first schedule of Laila Majnu that she enrolled in acting classes.
Expressing gratitude for her journey so far, Dimri said, "The kind of love I get from fans of Qala, Bulbul, Laila Majnu, and Animal makes you feel good."
