Actor Dia Mirza has spoken about her career and if she dislikes anything about the acting profession. Speaking with Filmfare, Dia also responded to a question about her insecurities as an actor. Dia on her career When asked if she would want to change any part of her professional journey, Dia replied, The fact is that I came into cinema completely untrained and unprepared. I learned everything on the job. While that has its own merits, I do recognise the invaluable contribution a good, solid education in acting makes to helping an individual define their creative voice and choices. Most of my choices in the first eight to ten years of my career were made out of fear. I was ill equipped to find my voice or the authenticity that now defines all my choices. Dia talks about her insecurities Dia was asked what is the one thing she dislikes about the profession of acting, she replied she doesn t enjoy the fake news we have to contend with . Talking about her insecurities as an actor, Dia said, Oh yes. Absolutely Especially when I was younger. The fear of losing out, the fear of rejection, the fear of ageism, and the loss of opportunity in an ageist industry.
About Dia s projects Fans saw Dia recently in Dhak Dhak, which also stars Ratna Pathak Shah, Sanjana Sanghi and Fatima Sana Shaikh. Helmed by Tarun Dudeja, Dhak Dhak brings a bunch of four women, all different from each other, daring to ride bikes to world s highest motorable road, the Khardungla Pass. Dia made her debut with Gautham Menon directed Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein, a remake of the Tamil film Minnale. She then appeared in films such as Alag, Dum, Deewaanapan, Tumko Na Bhool Paayenge, Tumsa Nahin Dekha: A Love Story, Parineeta, Dus, Lage Raho Munna Bhai, Salaam Mumbai, Sanju, Bheed and Thappad.

Dia is also a UN Environment Goodwill Ambassador and United Nations Secretary General Advocate for Sustainable Development and has often been vocal for change and has contributed her efforts in the field of social change, conservation and the environment. Dia Mirza has weighed in on the decades long debate on whether R Madhavan s character Maddy s stalking was justified in their 2001 romantic film Rehna Hai Terre Dil Mein. In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, she admitted that she was uncomfortable with the stalking and still is over 20 years down the line.
What Dia said I was uncomfortable when Maddy s character was stalking me. Although Reena Dia s character acknowledges it. She gives it off to him. She has that moment when she tells him off. What works that people get past that notion, that it s okay, is the fact that Maddy s character, at the end of the value, has very strong values, is respectful, is kind, is well intentioned, most importantly, said Dia in the interview. Did Reena choose the right guy She also weighed in on whether Reena chose the right guy in the end, between Maddy and Sam Saif Ali Khan . Arey ab kya bole. Main ye bhi sochti thi ki Saif itna achha aadmi hai, wo usko chhod ke kyu chali jayegi. And wo Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam mein dikhaya tha. So it s very interesting ki ek aisi film aati hai jo aapko ye point of view dikhati hai, ek aisi aati hai jo aapko wo point of view dikhati hai What can I say now. Saif was such a good man, I d wonder why she d leave him.
That was shown in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. So it s very interesting that a film shows a point of view, while another film shows another point of view . Agar kabhi sequel bane If there s ever a sequel made , toh it ll be very interesting to see where these people are today, Dia added in the interview.
