Dia Mirza is a little perturbed that her latest offering, Hum Tum Aur Ghost is going to be released on March 26th just as IPL begins to accelerate. “The reality is that the IPL can potentially cause the biggest dent in my upcoming film’s business,” she confides, “The studio decides the release date and they are super confident about the film. I’m optimistic about the movie but fearful about its release timing. After all, the tickets we sell in theatres defines the success of our film.”
Dia’s co-star in the movie is Arshad Warsi and she seems awfully fond of him. “Arshad is a keen observer and seeker of talent,” she explains, “He told me some time ago that he thinks I am a sincere actor, having noticed the effort I put into every character I play. He also mentioned that he thought I have not been given my due, and he cast me, thus keeping his word.”
Dia’s current success belies the struggle she has had in life. When her parents divorced, her mother had to move to a hostel and Dia spent some time there. “Belonging to the hostel kind of an environment, I have learnt how to tackle the ups and downs of life,” she confides, “You should have a positive attitude towards life.”
