One of the popular actresses Dia Mirza spills the beans on why she take her step father’ s surname for competing for a pageant. The actress also spills the beans on her relationship with her step father.
The actress said, “I loved my stepfather; he was a remarkable man. A lot of what I have learned in life especially the values that have held me in good stead, and this is something I can vouch for, are all values that he gave me. We had a very beautiful relationship that started off as friendship. Then I think as I grew older and I recognised that I had spent more years of my life with him, and him as a parent, he just became more and more my father, and that’s why I took on his surname when I joined the Miss India pageant,”
The actress further speaks about her relationship with father and said, It was amazing how he never tried to take my father’s place, but made his own place in my heart. Unfortunately, I lost him as well, when I was 23, and that was a huge, huge, huge loss because I think whatever said and done, the security blanket that a father figure gives you in life, nobody else can. When you lose a father that young, and I had lost two fathers within one lifetime, it’s very hard.”
Speaking about Dia Mirza’ professional life and Personal life. Dia was born in Hyderabad. While her late father was of German origin, her mother Deepa Mirza is Bengali. After participating in Miss India, and later being crowned Miss Asia Pacific 2000 at the age of 18, Dia made her debut in Bollywood with Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein (2001).
