After winning the title of Miss Asia Pacific in 2000, Dia Mirza decided to enter Bollywood in 2001. The actress has been in the industry for the past 19 years and has made a niche for herself.
Today, Dia celebrates her 39th birthday, so let’s look at the top five performances of the actress…
Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein
We have to start the list with Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein. Dia made her Bollywood debut with the film and impressed one and all with her performance in it. Though the film didn’t do great business at the box office, it has received a cult status.
Tehzeeb
Khalid Mohammed’s Tehzeeb starred Urmila Matondkar and Shabana Azmi in the lead roles, and Dia Mirza played a supporting role in the film. The actress portrayed a mentally challenged character in the film, and she performed very well.
Lage Raho Munna Bhai
Dia Mirza’s character in Lage Raho Munna Bhai was not more than an extended cameo. But, the actress looked gorgeous in the film, and even gave a good performance, especially in the climax.
Kaafir
Last year, Dia made her digital debut with the series Kaafir. Well, her performance was simply amazing in it and it is clearly one of the best performances of her career. She has also won many awards for it.
Thappad
Earlier this year, Dia Mirza played a supporting role in Anubhav Sinha’s Thappad. She gave a mature performance in the film and once again impressed everyone.
That Pali Hill plot where the old Kapoor house stood is finally ready.
They put out a note themselves, talking about new beginnings and asking for some space.
It is huge: six floors, hanging gardens, the whole works.
Neetu Kapoor moves in with them.
Alia just bagged another Filmfare award for Jigra.
So, the construction fences are finally down. The boxes are being packed. Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor are finally hauling boxes into that Pali Hill place, and choosing Diwali for it is certainly no accident. This is a proper family move, the whole clan under one roof. Calling it a 'new build' feels incomplete, doesn't it? I mean, they tore the old place down, sure, but the land itself? That is all Kapoor history. They have simply put a new house on a very, very old foundation.

So, what is the place actually like?
With an estimated value of £24 million, (Rs 250 crore) it is six floors stacked up on that prized Pali Hill plot. That video leak a few months back really blew up. Alia was furious, and rightly so, someone just filmed the place and posted on social media. We all saw a raw, unauthorized peek because of it. The home seems to have tiered gardens on the terrace, like a modern take on a classic Mumbai bungalow.

Why does this Pali Hill move matter so much?
That land is Kapoor history. Tearing down the original house was a gamble. Neetu ji, Ranbir, Alia, and their daughter Raha, all under one roof now. Four generations in one building. On top of that, it's during Diwali. It is about lighting lamps in a new space that is actually full of old memories. They also sent a note to the media politely asking for privacy around their new Pali Hill home.

What is happening on the work front?
As if moving house is not chaotic enough, Alia is still riding the high from her Filmfare win for Jigra. Her sixth. She put up a post calling it a project close to her heart, and you can tell she is not just using a press release line. Now the industry chatter is all about their next big one. They are teaming up again for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love & War, with Vicky Kaushal in the mix too.
