On A Date with Dia Mirza: Part - 2 : Bollywood News

Its shortly after 2.30 pm and we are fifteen minutes into our conversation when I hear, Ok, Ill have to attend a quick interview with some other guys. So, Ill be back in a while. By the way, you were fifteen minutes late too. It took Dia another twenty minutes to come back which reminded me that our synchronicity seems extraordinary.

Dias had small parts in big movies but thats what brings her up the ladder of success. And then on meeting her in person, you notice that she is happier on the outskirts of fame too. She wants to be known as an actor than a celebrity. The more you look at her, the better your afternoon gets. So I try this, What if we were to sit on the rocks of the sea shore on the Bandstand area for a date. She was ready and how, Right now? Dia asks me. In the same breath she continues, I thought people who dont have a place to go, go there. Majority of the people sitting on the rocks facing the sea side dont have a budget to go out on a date. Ive never seen any educated or an upper middle class part of the society going and sitting there. Its sad but its the truth.

In person Dias smaller, slighter than youd expect, as though her image were the result of some chemical reaction between her face and the movie camera. She talks like a parrot sometimes. In between our conversation, Dia uses the Hyderabadi word more than she uses my name. To know more on my thought of sitting on the rocks with her, I ask What went through your mind when you saw these romantic couples sitting on the rocks for the first time when you came to Mumbai? Dias Hyderabadi nature comes to the fore, I was shocked. I was a Hyderabadi girl. Id never seen people openly making out in public. See what I meant?
