Dia Mirza recalls sharing room with her hairdresser to ward off unwanted visitors: 'We have to find our ways to survive'
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. In a recent interview, Dia has opened up on how she had to find her own ways to survive here and create a safety net for herself. She admitted that it was scary initially when she started out young but her team was her constant support through the years. 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. I lost him during Covid. My hairdresser worked with me for 16-17 years straight, from my first film. That kind of created a safety net for me. We have to find out own ways to survive.' 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.

R. Madhavan reflects on his journey: 'I was a simple Tamil Brahmin electronics engineer… Pataa nahin yeh acting ka keeda kahan se aa gaya'
The Maddy who made and gave Bollywood a classic romantic hit with his film 'Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein' and recently as a 'Shaitan' made the audience feel chills down their spine, has turned 55 years old today. On this lovely occasion, he spoke candidly and exclusively about his journey in the entertainment industry. The actor shared how he doesn't know how or when the 'acting bug' caught him, as he was just a simple engineer who never planned on anything as such. Madhavan on being re-invented as an antagonist With his recent work in 'Shaitaan' and 'Kesari 2,' Maddy reinvented himself as a villain in the industry. Speaking about the same, he said, 'I didn't work towards it. I didn't plan anything in my career. I was a simple Tamil Brahmin electronics engineer from Jamshedpur. Pataa nahin yeh acting ka keeda kahan se aa gaya.' He added, 'It was not planned. They (negative roles) just happened. I am very proud of Shaitaan and Kesari 2. But I think I am done with naughty characters for a while.' Having said that, he also said that for the future, he doesn't have a plan, 'But yes, I hope to continue to get the love of the audience even when I play a shaitaan.' The turning points of R. Madhavan 's career Further, while reflecting on his journey and the milestones, Maddy shared, ''Banegi Apni Baat' was my first taste of stardom. I got a lot of attention for that. Then, Mani Ratnam 's 'Alai Payuthey,' of course. That's where my movie began. I could never thank Mani Sir enough for taking a television actor and putting him up there. I mean, oh my God! I still pinch myself. I consider Mani Ratnam a very integral part of my success. We went on to collaborate on other films. I would rush to do another film with him any day.' Further, Madhavan shared that 'Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein' got him a place in Hindi cinema. 'I am thankful to Vashu Bhagnaniji.' 'Another turning point of Raju Hirani's '3 Idiots.' That was not only fun to shoot but also a huge success. And of course, 'Rocketry: The Nambi Effect,' which I directed. I got to play one of our unsung heroes Nambi Narayanan. My biggest moment of victory was when Nambi Sir liked the film,' stated the actor. The best part is that both he and his fans know that there are more milestones to come as the actor maintains his relevancy in the industry.
