Earlier, talking to ETimes, Dia opened up on the portrayal of women in Bollywood. She said, “From my own experience as a working actor, I have witnessed a significant shift in the portrayal of women in Bollywood films over the years. The emergence of the OTT era has allowed for more diverse and complex female characters, such as Kainaaz in ‘Kaafir’, challenging traditional stereotypes. While I am grateful for the opportunities to play diverse roles, I hope to see a day when films led by women are not labeled as ‘women-centric’ but simply become the norm.”
