Bollywood sensation Dia Mirza , who swooned the hearts of millions with her debut film, became a national crush in the early 2000s. Her undeniable beauty and grace made her one of the most sought-after actresses in the entertainment industry.
But do you know the actress was just as adorable in her younger years? No, we aren’t kidding. The actress recently treated her social media fans to a dose of nostalgia by sharing a heartwarming glimpse into her childhood. Taking a trip down memory lane, Dia shared a precious throwback picture on her Instagram stories on Saturday morning.
The monochrome image features her mother holding young Dia close to her and lovingly embracing her. The heartwarming snapshot offers a nostalgic peek into the actress’s early life, showcasing the close bond she shared with her mother. It is worth mentioning that the actress not only shares a close bond with her mother, but she is also very dear to her father.
To prove this, we have stumbled upon a post. A few days back, the actress dropped a heartwarming post wishing her father on her birthday. She penned, “I draw when I want to scream.
That’s what my father used to say. Art was his voice, his protest, his prayer. Through ink, charcoal, brush, or lense—he captured the noise in his head and the chaos in our world.
He believed art was not just a mirror—it was a responsibility. A way to reflect, to represent, to remember. He was deeply connected to nature.
It grounded him. He listened to it. Spoke through it.
" “This illustration of ants—his ants—connects deeply with me today. Because it says everything he stood for, everything he tried to teach me. Tiny.
Tireless. In service of something bigger. They don’t complain.
They don’t quit. They carry 10x their weight and keep moving— with purpose, with patience. Let it remind you: Consistency is a superpower.
Happy Birthday, Pappa. Maybe in another life, I’ll get more time with you. Until then, I carry you in every line, every lesson, every quiet moment.
My hero. Always," she concluded. For those unaware, Dia’s biological father, Frank Handrich, was a German artist, and her mother, Deepa, was a Bengali interior designer.
However, they got separated when Dia was five years old. Speaking about her cinematic career, Dia Mirza last starred in Shauna Gautam’s directorial Nadaaniyan. In the Gen Z romantic drama, she played the role of a schoolteacher and mother.
Backed by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions, Nadaaniyan features Saif Ali Khan’s son Ibrahim Ali Khan and Khushi Kapoor in lead roles. The film, which premiered on Netflix on March 7, also featured Suniel Shetty, Mahima Choudhary and Jugal Hansraj. Looking ahead, she is all set to star in Kabhi Bhi Kahin Bhi.
Directed by Yogendra Singh, the romantic thriller film stars Aashish Chaudhary, Dino Morea and Sharat Saxena. Mark your calendars! The film is scheduled to hit the theatres on July 18..
