“I once heard Meryl Streep say that women often end up speaking like men in a world largely designed by men. It’s essential for women to rediscover and celebrate their unique strengths. A lot of what women do comes from a place of love. And, that love should flow into everything we pursue.”

Dia’s message comes as the world prepares to mark International Women’s Day on March 8. This year holds special significance as it commemorates the 30th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action. It is a landmark blueprint for advancing women’s rights globally.

Beyond her public appearances, Dia took to social media to share a video of herself with the caption, “Becoming the woman I was meant to be.”

Dia Mirza made her Bollywood debut in 2001 with ‘Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein’, alongside R. Madhavan and Saif Ali Khan. Over the years, she has built a diverse filmography. It includes movies like ‘Parineeta’, ‘Lage Raho Munna Bhai’, ‘Sanju’, and ‘Thappad’. Recently, she starred in the road drama ‘Dhak Dhak’ (2024) and the Netflix series ‘IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack.’
