A sort of trivia

Neha Dhupia says about her character in Delhii Heights:

She is stuck in a sort of trivia where she has to balance her personal and professional life.

In case some of you quizzers out there are suddenly excited, calm down: I can only assume she meant “dilemma.” Sigh.

Update: Quizzers Rishi and Quizman write in to inform me that perhaps Ms Dhupia is somewhat erudite, and was making a scholarly reference to a possible origin of the word “trivia”: in Latin, Trivium means “the meeting place of three roads, especially as a place of public resort.” [Source.]

Ya, right!
