Dia Mirza is one of the most versatile actresses in the industry. She has been vocal when it comes to the environment and constantly shares a lot of videos regarding the same. Well, recently in an interview with Filmfare, Dia opened up about her insecurities as an actor and mentioned that loss of opportunities in the industry is one of them.
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.” In the same interview, she talked about dislikes and said that she doesn’t enjoy ‘the fake news we have to contend with’.
Dia Mirza was last seen in the movie Dhak Dhak. The film which also stars Sanjana Sanghi, Fatima Sana Shaikh and Ratna Pathak Shah in key roles released in theatres on October 13, 2023. In an exclusive chat with News18 Showsha, Dia, who learned to ride a bike in her forties a few months after giving birth to her son, says that the journey was ‘daunting’ but nothing short of magical. “It was a revelation and life-transforming. In an industry that’s so patriarchal, it’s so difficult to get such a simple, honest, dignified, and feminist story that’s so rooted in empathy. Just like in the story, we were four strangers who came together to tell this story,” she tells us.
Dia goes on to reveal that one of the toughest days was when Fatima had an epileptic attack during the shoot but that the cast always made it a point to lend a shoulder to one another. Recalling the episode, Dia says, “The oxygen was thin, the routes were hard and Fatty had a few situations where she had an epileptic attack. But within seconds, she got up and did one of the most dramatic and significant scenes in the film. I’ve sobbed not because she’s a brilliant performer but looking at her sheer commitment as an artist.”
