Diya Mirza Is Pissed Off With The Bollywood People

Bollywood runs on “herd mentality”, acknowledging only the successful films of actors and not their talent, says actress and former beauty queen Diya Mirza.

Missing from the big screen since her cameo in the box office dud Krazzy 4, Diya hopes that her off-beat film Bits and Pieces opposite Rahul Bose is released soon.

She attributes her absence to the failure of her films and the industry’s “biased” attitude towards her.

“It was important for me to back off from films. I started my career on a good note with big banners, good producers and good actors, but the films didn’t do too well. We live in an industry (Bollywood) that runs on a herd mentality.

It functions only on the number of successful films you have, not your talent,” Diya said

Diya won the Miss Asia Pacific beauty pageant in 2000 and forayed into Bollywood in 2001 with Gautham Menon’s Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein opposite R. Madhavan. Full News
