Dia Mirza who made her debut with 'Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein' paved a path for herself in the industry as an outsider with no support.

When asked about surviving in the industry, without any backing, Dia said in an interview with Official People Of India, "I'll have to write a book about that someday. There's so much, there are so many layers to that question. But, if I have to be simple, it was hard and terrifying." She also spoke about saving herself from unwanted situations or attention sometimes and said, "My hairdresser used to share my room with me for many years to ward off unwanted visitors. It was really hard. I myself look back now and think I don't know how I managed.' The actress added, "A lot of the women in the industry have always had some parent around. Somebody's father or mother have always been a very active participant in their film career. I never had that. My team – hairdresser, makeup artist, and spotboy were my safety net. Which is why I never changed those technicians and that support group for years." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Esta nueva alarma con cámara es casi regalada en Colonia La Yerba (ver precio) Verisure Undo The actor continued, 'Prasad anna was my spotboy for all of the years that I worked until he passed away.

Dia also added that today when she looks back, she regrets some of her characters. "There are so many things that I have done as scenes or the kind of characters that I have played in my earlier films, without even realising how regressive some of that was or how I was being objectified, or how patriarchal the mindset was in the projection of the character. All of that only becomes something that you learn about and become aware of, therefore you can make better choices later.

Dia Mirza, who started her film journey as a background dancer in a Tamil film, has had her own share of ups and downs as an outsider in the industry. After winning the title of Miss Asia Pacific International title in 2000, she marked her debut in Hindi cinema with Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein, alongside R. Madhavan. She has often shared losing several films because the opportunities were offered to others with industry backing. In a recent interview, Dia revealed that she had to share her room with her hairdresser to avoid unwanted knocks at night. The actor, whose parents got divorced when she was four and father passed away at nine, also spoke about how female actors in the industry had parents to support them, but she didn't. During a conversation with Official People Of India, Dia was asked about navigating her path as an outsider in the film industry. 'I'll have to write a book about that someday. There's so much, there are so many layers to that question. But, if I have to be simple, it was hard and terrifying,' she smiled and replied.

'I couldn't hold him until...': Dia Mirza recalls son Avyaan had hole in his intestine and underwent life-saving surgery
While motherhood is a blissful phase for a woman, becoming one is never easy! Bollywood actress Dia Mirza turned mother after welcoming her son, Avyaan Azaad Rekhi, in 2021. After his birth, the little boy was immediately taken to the ICU and underwent life-saving surgery, as revealed by Dia in a recent interview. She opened up about her life-threatening pregnancy at 39. The Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein actress said that she delivered Avyaan in a 'crazy' situation as she developed an acute bacterial infection. Talking to the Official People Of India, Dia Mirza disclosed that the bacterial infection was likely due to a side effect of an appendix surgery, which she underwent during the fifth month of her pregnancy. "By the end of my sixth month, we realised that my placenta was haemorrhaging and my body was going into sepsis. If the baby wasn't delivered, neither of us could be saved. It was quite scary," said the 43-year-old. Revealing more about her complicated delivery, Dia added that she just wanted the doctor to save her baby. After Avyaan was born, he weighed only 810 grams. At the same time, the actress was on IV antibiotics, and later doctors concluded that the bacteria she had were life-threatening. However, owing to the medication, things were under control. Further, Mirza recalled remaining on antibiotics for 21 days. On the other hand, her premature son had to undergo life-saving surgery 36 hours after his birth, as he had a hole in his intestine. Sharing how doctors performed the surgery, the actress mentioned, "They put a stoma on him. They basically pulled the intestine out of the body, and it was an exposed stoma." Taking the conversation forward, the Bheed actress mentioned COVID-19 and said that she was allowed to visit Avyaan only twice a week, and mentioned how the pandemic increased her concerns. Dia could not hold him until he was 2.5 kg, and then she brought him home for exactly 20 days. After the little boy gradually gained strength and weighed 3.5 kg, he underwent another surgery, and the stoma was corrected. In the same interview, the Nadaniyaan actress made a heartfelt revelation about writing a book for her son. The book compiles her pregnancy journey and details every aspect of her complicated delivery. Stating how Avyaan has taught her 'grace,' Dia said that it takes a lot of grace to survive, endure, and smile through the pain that Avyaan has experienced. For the unversed, Dia Mirza was earlier married to her longtime business partner, Sahil Sangha. They got separated in 2019, and later she got hitched to businessman Vaibhav Rekhi in 2021. The couple turned parents to Avyaan the same year. Well, the actress also has a stepdaughter, Samaira, from Vaibhav's previous marriage.
