Date goof up?

Tripti reportedly chose to walk the ramp with Kartik Aaryan at the same time she was supposed to be making an appearance at the event meant for women empowerment. The organisers didn't take kindly to her absence and blackened her poster.

However, Tritpi has now issued a statement clearly mentioning that she only attended the events she had made commitments too. She also made it clear that there was no money paid for the event she didn't attend or had not confirmed.

Tripti's statement

"During the ongoing promotional campaign for her film Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video, Triptii Dimri fully honored her professional obligations, attending all scheduled events and sessions related to the film. Notably, she did not participate or commit to participate in any personal appearances or events beyond her promotional duties. It's important to clarify that no additional fees or payments were accepted for her involvement in these activities," the statement read.

Reddit users react to the viral clip

"So Tripti took 5lakh for the event. But must have costed more than that to organize the event, book the venue, invitations etc. I don't even know what and how much goes in such events. Yes, the aunty was unhinged but what Tripti or her team did, though it might have been a mistake, still very very wrong. Tripti can give them the money back but that doesn't include the money they used to organize. More over, bad rep for this group for future events," wrote a user.

"I don't think it's money only, such events are investment + marketing approach so many guests are only there to invest and market," another reddit user commented.

"That's kinda crazy BUT flaking the day of the event is sooo disrespectful. Her assistant or whoever manages her commitments is definitely getting fired," read a comment. "It's terrible to cancel last minute but who the hell acts so crazy at a professional event and shouts 'mu kala karo'. Chapri aunty behaviour," a user came out defending Tripti.

"I get that this comes off as crazy behaviour because it really is. But if you've already paid someone money to attend an event and then they don't show up, there are better ways to make it known that they can't honour their commitments. Oh, well. People do things when they're angry. And Tripti needs a better team who can manage her dates well. I hope she pays back the money," another reasoned.
