In a powerful message on Instagram, the 'Sanju' actress celebrated the essence of Shakti — the divine feminine energy and credited her mother for instilling in her the values of compassion, resilience, and grace. She posted a couple of her photos from a recent award and captioned it, 'Last night, as I stood on that stage, I thought of my mother @deepamirza. She was my first understanding of Shakti — not just as strength, but as compassion, resilience, grace, and the quiet courage to rise again and again. Shakti is the divine feminine energy that sustains, protects, and transforms. It lives in every woman who dares to dream, who nurtures life, who stands her ground, and who walks forward even when the path is uncertain.' Dia added, 'To be honoured with the Shakti Award 2025 by the wonderful @shashitharoor, in a room full of women I love and admire - Shabana Azmi ji, Ekta Kapoor, Neha Dhupia, Surveen Chawla, Poornima Devi Burman and so many more - was a reminder of how powerful we are when we stand together. This award is not just mine. It belongs to every woman who lives her truth, who lifts another up, and who carries within her the boundless force of Shakti. Gratitude. Love. And renewed hope.' On the work front, the 'Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein' actress was recently seen in the film 'Nadaaniyan,' directed by Shauna Gautam. The film featured a fresh cast, including Saif Ali Khan's son Ibrahim Ali Khan and Khushi Kapoor, alongside seasoned actors Mahima Chaudhry, Suniel Shetty, and Jugal Hansraj. In the movie, Dia played the role of Nandini, the mother of Ibrahim's character, Arjun. 'Nadaaniyan,' directed by Shauna Gautam and produced by Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta and Somen Mishra under Dharmatic Entertainment, was released on 7 March 2025 on Netflix. Meanwhile, Dia has recently expressed gratitude for her debut film 'Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein', which was released in 2001, for shaping her life's journey. Dia took to Instagram, where she shared a selfie dressed in a white kurta. The doe-eyed actress appears beguiling in the picture as she smiles for the camera lens. For the background score, Dia, who essayed the role of Reena in the cult classic, used the rain theme, which introduced her in the Gautham Vasudev Menon film. 'This tune has in so many ways defined the song of my adult life... I was 19 when I danced in the rain with children... the first visual that introduced me as an actor to the audience. With a film title that defines the very essence of the hope one carries into this journey called — LIFE,' she wrote as the caption. Dia then thanked everyone for the love she has received for the film. 'Rehna Hain Terre Dil Mein — Then, Now and Always... So so grateful for your acceptance, your generosity and love,' she added.
