Diya Mirza – The Bad Babe in Bollywood

Diya Mirza ia another very sweet girl our industry has introduced to us in the past. Dia who made her debut with Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein opposite Madhavan is now all set to plays a girl locked up in a factory with four men with apparently no way out, in Suparn Verma’s Acid Factory. She’s being made to do the most impossible stunts. But Diya doesn’t mind.

Diya is the only woman in the entire script. “What I enjoy is being one of the boys. I’m doing everything that the boys are being made to do. And that includes all the stunts.

After playing dainty utterly feminine roles I’m enjoying being put on a harness dangling from ropes, jumping from heights, kicking and punching. In spite of my dainty image I’ve always been a tomboy. My character is bad through and through. No apologies. No justification. She just enjoys being bad. I like bringing that dark side of me out on screen because there’s way I can tap into it in real life.”

“I like the surprise element in my role in Acid Factory. I remember seeing a film with Julia Roberts where she was a schoolteacher by day and quite naughty in the night. It was hard for me to come out and play the aggressive bad girl in Acid Factory or be part of the goofy comedy in Kunal Vijaykar’s Fruit & Nut. I’m basically quiet and shy. I like to read and write.”

Diya admits there’s no man in her life. “Oh, the amount of men I’m linked with! Where’s the time? Sometimes when I see my my friends with their soul mates I do wish I had someone to cuddle. But then I quickly move on to something else.”  Source
