Dia Mirza is unperturbed about the fact that she has no films
after her just released "Hum, Tum Aur Ghost" because
she says she would rather wait for good films than do unsatisfying
work.
"I'm not doing anything after 'Hum Tum Aur Ghost'. If
this was the situation five years ago, I would have got so worried
and this fact would have killed me; it would have bothered me
no end," Dia told IANS in an interview.
"But now I am in a position where I am financially comfortable;
so I am not working in a film to get that extra money. I am
working in a film if I want to be a part of it. I'm in a position
today that if I don't get the right role, I can sit at home
for six months and not do a film that I don't believe in,"
she added.
Dia, who won the Miss Asia Pacific beauty pageant in 2000,
made her cinematic debut with "Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein"
opposite R. Madhavan in 2001. Later she did films like "Tumsa
Nahin Dekha", "Deewaanapan", "Parineeta",
"Dus", "Fight Club", and "Lage Raho
Munnabhai" among others.
Before "Hum, Tum Aur Ghost" that released March 26,
the 28-year-old has mostly been seen in ensemble casts or special
appearances in films for quite some time now.
The actress now, however, feels differently: "It's quality
over quantity for me now."
