Diya Mirza Handich or Dia Mirza nicknamed Dee was born on 9 December 1981 in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh. This young woman has one of the most beautiful, smiling and innocent looking face in Bollywood and is also caring, sensitive, and loving.
The introverted Diya entered the Femina Miss India, held on 2 December, 2000, in Manila when she was 18 to have some fun. She walked away with 3 titles – Miss Beautiful Smile, The Sony Viewers’ Choice Award and Femina Miss India-Asia Pacific. She is the second Indian contestant to be crowned Miss Asia Pacific and the first in 29 years. Thats was the started of her career as a model.
She made her Bollywood debut with Rehna Hai Tera Dil Mein. Though the film was not a major Bollywood hit Diya was love by her fans and her acting skills were also praised by the critics. Diya did not get any chance to star in any major hit movie but she proved her acting talents in films like Tehzeeb, Tumsa Nahin Dekha, Alag etc.
But acting is not the only thing Diya is skilled at. This lady also has a keen sense os Business. She was earning Rs. 5000 a month plus 15% commission on any ad revenve she fetched as the Marketing Executive of Sriven Multitech in Hyderabad when she was only 16 years of age!
She never really had a great run in the film industry and at one point of time she got so frustrated that she wanted to give it all up. She was quoted as saying – “I realized that the minute your film flops those producers who are keen to sign you make an excuse and back out at the last minute. You are dropped from the film. Sometimes the film is announced in a lavish way but does not take off. I got tired of all this and thought of seriously giving up my career once and for all. But then I realized that things were not so bad for me after all. Filmmakers respected me! Few have shown genuine interest to cast me in their films. And that is what has kept me going." This shows that this preety face has the backing of a strong personality.
She has a long and strong line up of upcoming films which include the anxiously awaited films like Dus Kahaniyan, Familywala, Na Na Karte etc.
