Actor Dia Mirza reflected on her 25-year career since her debut in Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein (2001), noting she was sidelined from feature films following early box-office failures.
She transitioned into film production at age 24 to back meaningful stories and later found career turning points through web series Kaafir (2019) and biopic Sanju (2018).
Mirza advocates prioritizing character depth over role length and emphasized that longevity depends on continuous learning and integrity rather than pursuing stardom.
