Diya Mirza Attended Peaceful Protest against Mumbai Killing

It was the huge crowd gathered in Mumbai near Taj Hotel protesting against the Mumbai killing and casual attitude of the government that led to the 26th November 2008 terrorist attack on Mumbai. Diya Mirza along with Neha Dhupia and other celebrities from the city took with common mass of the city to express their solidarity and condolences with people who were killed in the heinous act of fanaticism.

The protestors were marching through the city bearing signs and flags with an appeal to the people of the nation to rally against the country’s politicians. Though the rally was more focused on a need for peace yet it displayed anger and disappointment within the people and against the government.

Dia Mirza gets tech savvy with ‘T3′

The December edition of ‘T3′, the tech-gizmo-gadget magazine is the second anniversary edition of the mag and what better way to treat the viewers than with the red hot Dia Mirza as the cover girl of the issue.

The cover has Dia attired in a flamingly crimson red dress on the cover carrying a cell phone in one hand. The cover talks about luscious gadgets with the luscious babe, Dia, posing with all the latest gizmos and gadgets, including a laptop, watch and many more. However, the issue has no interview from Dia Mirza.

Why Is Diya Mirza Angry?

Diya Mirza who made her debut in Bollywood in 2001 after winning the Miss Asia Pacific Pageant in 2000, is still struggling to find a strong foothold in the industry.In the seven years of her career she has failed to deliver even a single memorable performance. Her repeated failure has led to her disappearance from the circuit for sometime and for that she is really angry with the industry.

“It was important for me to back off from films. I started my career on a good note with big banners, good producers and good actors, but the films didn’t do too well. We live in an industry (Bollywood) that runs on a herd mentality.

It functions only on the number of successful films you have, not your talent,” Diya said

Nevertheless Diya’s kitty is reasonably full with Acid Factory, Johnny Mastana, Alibaug, Kaun Bola and Kisaan.

“I need to find my own foothold. Even if I do a small film, I need to explore myself now. Whatever I’m doing right now is satisfying me both personally and professionally. People will see a tremendous change in my upcoming films. I am working very hard to get it right this time,” she adds.

Diya Mirza Takes Out a Crocodile Baby From The Egg

Before the creative juices seep in your creative minds, let us clarify that giving ‘birth’ to crocodiles is a very easy task at the Sriracha Tiger Zoo in Bangkok.

Dia Mirza visited the Sriracha Tiger Zoo during the croc egg-breaking festival during the IIFA weekend in Bangkok. An ecstatic Dia said that holding a baby crocodile in her palms was indeed a strange experience in itself as there were scores of crocodile eggs, most of them already cracked. Along with the caretaker, Dia had to get the baby crocodile out of the shell, cut the umbilical cord, and then bathe it in warm water!

But this process was not as easy as much as it sounds. Dia said that firstly the eggs were all sticky and full of goo. Then the baby croc that popped out was all smeared in blood! And when someone asked Dia if she would undergo the ‘delivery process’ once again, she quickly replied that helping in giving birth to one croc was more than enough for her.
So can we say that Dia has turned mother of a croc baby. What say ?

Rakhi's item is simply the best: Dia Mirza

Dia Mirza has been a lost and found case, as she gets back to tinsel town after a hiatus. As the ravishing Dia gets ready for some comic action with 'Krazzy 4', where she plays Arshad Warsi's beau, we get to talk to the lady on her role in the film..

Q.: You are appearing in "Krazzy 4" as a big surprise package. What would you like to say about that?
A.: (Smiling) Yeah, you are absolutely right. Actually, it was Jaydeep's idea to introduce me as the trump card at the end of the film. Previously, I have done few comedies, but working in "Krazzy 4" was something different.

It's much better than the so- called slapstick and sensitive comedies. You can call it social comedy. Hats off to Jaydeep's effort in depicting a good story with a cool comic touch!

Q.: There are three item numbers in the film. Don't you bite nails for missing any one of them?
A.: Not at all. I think, the director would have asked me to do so if there was any requirement. He didn't feel any such thing and I think it's perfect for the project.

Director's decision is always honorable in any film and it's my pleasure to respect Jaydeep's decision regarding "Krazzy 4".

Q.: Who, between Shahrukh and Hrithik, did you like most doing the item number?
A.: (Smiling) Rakhi Sawant's item number was the best amongst them. Truly speaking, I liked both Shahrukh and Hrithik's item numbers. And believe me, it's not my diplomatic response.

Sridevi - Once a gold is always a gold

There could not have been a better camera comeback for the ‘Chandni’ girl than to shashay down the ramp with a majestic gait all draped in a golden gown for designer duo Priya and Chintan. She had all support from her hubby dearest, Boney Kapoor, and kids who sat in the front row clicking at her. Golden is incidentally Sridevi’s favorite colour.

BTW, also check out gorgeous Dia Mirza who walked the ramp for designer Arshiya Fakih Eappen on the final day at LFW. The actress wore an emerald green satin tube dress with an embellished empire line and walked quite like a pro, unlike a Bollywood babe. Also, an equally delicious eye candy was Yana Gupta for Wendell Rodricks.

Her father died when she was nine and her mother remarried: Ahmed Mirza whose surname she took, died in 2004.

Dia Mirza has a super-blast

Mumbai: Dia Mirza is all set to change her prim image. She is acting in a comedy, Fruit Nut, directed by television's funny man Kunal Vijaykar.

She giggles: "It's meant to be a comedy. But it's an absolute horror becaus someone as wacky as Kunal is directing it. Boman Irani and Cyrus Broacha woo me in the movie. Can you imagine! I am having a super-blast. It's my first full-fledged comedy.

And it also involves a lot of physical comedy, which I've never done. It has been challenging, and finally a lot of fun to just let go. The smallest of actors in Fruit Nut are seasoned troupers, so I am constantly on my toes."

Dia says she's tired of being asked why the big chance eludes her. "How can I answer that? For some people, it happens quickly. For others it takes time. I'm lucky to be getting roles in spite of so many unsuccessful films. I'm still getting offers from people like Naseeruddin Shah and Shojeet Sircar, who is making a movie with Amitabh Bachchan.

The fact that someone like Naseer thinks of casting me is a big compliment to me." Dia sees 2008 as a huge turning point in her career. "The line-up of films is versatile. And there're going to be many more lead parts. I think I am going to take giant steps this year. Even in a crazy film like Cash, I carried myself with dignity." She has several films in the pipeline.

"I'm part of Rakesh Roshan's Krazzy 4 though I'm one of the sane members of the cast. That's sad because I'd have happily played one of the nuts. It's been good fun because I got to work with artistes I've always admired like Irrfan Khan, Arshad Warsi and Juhi Chawla. I adore Juhi, to be working with her is like a dream come true."
