Variety of films is important to Dia Mirza
Dia Mirza has been lying low for quite some time. Apart from Dus Kahaniyan one hasnt heard much about her these days. Question her about it and the actress says, “I do an average of four to five films a year. How much do you want me to do? I have Alibaug and Fruit and Nut to my credit. For me it is important to hold on to different films. After my films flopped in the beginning, I needed to do different films. Now that I have done different films and made a place for myself, I need to be the centre of attraction. I think I have said no to more films now than ever before. When I am old and grey, tottering with a stick, my grandchildren should say, Wow, what films have you done! I will do films I want to be a part of.”
How does the actress spend her time otherwise? “I have so many things to do. I am happy doing pottery painting and horseriding. Horseriding has been a childhood hobby and I didnt know they had riding classes in Mumbai until Lara (Dutta) joined it. Ive joined the Amateur Riding Club (AMC) at the Mahalaxmi race course. Its such a large place. I never knew that such a large space existed in the heart of the city. People come to jog and ride. There are children and old people around. I paint, I write poetry and love photography,” she says.
