Dia Mirza recalls stripping ‘bare’ in front of 100 men during song shoot: ‘It liberated me’
Dia Mirza, an actress from a conservative family in Hyderabad, entered Bollywood with her debut film Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein in 2001. She faced challenges in her career, including a particularly difficult shoot for the song "Mujhe Tumse Mohabbat Hai" in the 2004 film Tumsa Nahin Dekha. The song required her to strip down to underwear and a bra in front of almost 100 men on set.
Initially, she was not confident in her body, but the experience liberated her and helped her gain confidence in her performance. The choreographer Vaibhavi Merchant and the entire team made her feel safe during the shoot. Dia believes that such challenging experiences have shaped her as an artist and continue to inform her craft.
