After the pictures came out she was encouraged to participate in the Miss India competition. Thats when Miss India happned. She walked away with 3 titles Miss Beautiful Smile, The Sony Viewer's Choice Award and Femina Miss India-Asia Pacific.
Diya Mirza won the prestigious Miss Asia Pacific title at the beauty pageant held on 2 December, 2000, in Manila. She is the second Indian contestant to be crowned Miss Asia Pacific and the first in 29 years.
Her first film, opposite Madhavan Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein did not make a big splash. But it spelt one thing - Diya Mirza had arrived.
A series of unsuccessful films followed, among them Tumsa Nahin Dekha and Deewanapan.
In 2005, Mirza appeared in Parineeta, a Vidhu Vinod Chopra production. In 2006 she teamed up once again with Chopra and Sanjay Dutt for the successful film Lage Raho Munna Bhai. She also played in the music video Kajara Mohabbat Wala from Sonu Nigam album Kajara Nite.
She has also appeared in Dus and in Fight Club. She will appear later this year in Familywala and Naa Naa Karte.
She is also independent and armed with a mind of her own. And with everyone’s confidence and encouragement egging on her, Diya has a good chance of bagging a crown India hasn’t won in 25 years.
