Dia Mirza recently revealed that she attempted to conform to the beauty standards of that era when she started out, even going so far as to wear light-coloured lenses in all films.
Although director Gautham Vasudev Menon’s R Madhavan and Saif Ali Khan-starrer Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein (RHTDM, 2001) did not perform well at the box office, it instantly propelled debutant actor Dia Mirza to unimaginable heights. Besides her acting talent, Dia’s stunning looks played a key role in earning her widespread recognition. After all, she had won the title of Miss Asia Pacific International in 2000.
