Cine Stuck: The Pristine And Goodhearted Dia Mirza Marries Vaibhav Rekhi; She Deserves All The Happiness And More
"Sometimes one comes across people who deserve all the happiness in the world. Diya Mirza is one of them," writes Subhash K Jha.
It seems providential to me that Dia Mirza got married during the same week that Madhavan received his doctorate. They both made their debut together 20 years ago in Rehna Hai Terre Dil Mein. A film that I was instrumental in getting released in Bihar, though I wonder if producer Vashu Bhagnani remembers my contribution.
I’ve known Maddy and Dia since then, one of them much more closely than the other. But then Dia Mirza is not the sort who would opt for boisterous friendships. She is very private and a highly reserved human being. They both tell me this is the happiest moment of their life. I believe them. Sometimes one comes across people who deserve all the happiness in the world. Diya Mirza is one of them. Dia makes friends for life. We’ve known each other for more years that I can count.
I still remember when she made her Bollywood debut. Audiences immediately saw her for what she was: pretty and pristine.
She has always been proper in her behavior and pronouncements. Dia Mirza’s life is seen through filtered lenses. She lives in an invisible impregnable castle where none of the human foibles and filth are welcome.
I believe she deserves more as an actor than the film industry is willing to give her. Bollywood, as we know it, is not so generous to those who are as transparent as Dia is. You would never see her on backslapping terms with her co-stars, never see her sucking up to producers for roles, never see her pretending to be nice to people she doesn’t like.
Her marriage, her second to Vaibhav Rekhi is special. Vaibhav has a daughter from his first marriage and I am sure Dia will make a wonderful mother to her. I am sure all her friends feel the same way. There can be no dispute over Dia Mirza’s goodheartedness.
