Dia Mirza

Born Dia Handrich on December 9, 1981, and now celebrated as Dia Mirza Rekhi, this Indian actress first captivated the world through a historic pageant triumph. In 2000, she claimed the Femina Miss India Asia Pacific title before making history as Miss Asia Pacific International, becoming the first Indian in 27 years to win the coveted crown and completing India's unprecedented hat-trick alongside Lara Dutta and Priyanka Chopra. Her dazzling acting debut followed in 2001 with Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein, launching a prolific career primarily in Hindi cinema. Mirza’s illustrious filmography boasts blockbusters like Dus (2005), Lage Raho Munna Bhai (2006), and the acclaimed Thappad (2020), with the record-shattering Sanju (2018) standing as her highest-grossing release. Beyond the silver screen, she co-founded Born Free Entertainment and later established her own powerhouse, One India Stories, in 2019, further cementing her legacy with acclaimed streaming series such as Kaafir (2019) and IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack (2024). International actress Priyanka Chopra's multifaceted career has taken another thrilling turn behind the camera. In 2011, she co-founded Born Free Entertainment, a production house with ex-husband Sahil Sangha, churning out critically acclaimed projects like Love Breakups Zindagi and Bobby Jasoos. The trailblazer further expanded her creative horizons with the Amazon Prime series Mind the Malhotras in 2019, starring Cyrus Sahukar and Mini Mathur. Last year, she announced the launch of One India Stories, a new production house dedicated to crafting original content.
