A few days ago, Amazon MiniTV dropped a short film titled Gray, starring Dia Mirza and Shreya Dhanwanthary The 30-minute short which revolves around consent shines a light on the concept with an empathetic view. Pinkvilla sat down for a brief chat with the short's two lead actors, Dia and Shreya, who are front and center of the story. We got talking about consent, why the script spoke to them, and how much has the space for women performers changed.

For the unversed, Dhak Dhak was announced just a few days ago and Dia will be starring alongside Ratna Pathak Shah, Fatima Sana Shaikh, and Sanjana Sanghi. The four women play diverse roles and will see riding the bike. When asked about it, Dia did not divulge much information but said, "We all have (learned how to ride the bike). We're all riding and are shooting right now."

While she couldn't dish out any more information, Dia added, "All I do want to say is, if you had told me 15 years ago, that I would chance upon the best stories of my career in my 40th year, I wouldn't believe you. Therein lies a change that is significant. And one that we must acknowledge. Because ageism, patriarchy, and sexism, are all so prevalent in our industry, story-telling, and choices, are all being completely challenged now. Not just by people who are making stories but by people who are being a part of stories."  

As a new mother, the actress also revealed that she often gets asked about striking a balance between work and motherhood. Dia revealed that prioritizing is the key. "I get asked this question a lot: How do you balance life with your baby and your work? You're a young, new mother. How are you able to go away for shoots? And the answer is: I prioritize," Dia said. Adding, "Obviously, I'm not going to do everything that comes my way. I do what really calls out to me. And I do work that, I believe, will make a difference. Some way or the other. That's the only kind of work I really enjoy being a part of now. Magically, time opens up for you when you're aligned with your purpose and you only doing what really makes you feel alive." 

Dia Mirza is one of the most talented and promising actresses in the entertainment industry. She has worked in several hit movies including Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein, Sanju, Thappad, and Lage Raho Munna Bhai among others. The actress is making headlines these days for her upcoming project Dhak Dhak. The film is Taapsee Pannu’s upcoming production and also stars Ratna Pathak Shah, Fatima Sana Shaikh, and Sanjana Sanghi in the lead. And, ever since the film went on the floor, Dia has been sharing some priceless behind the scene photos from the sets of the movie. Speaking of which, the team of Dhak Dhak is currently in Delhi to shoot a schedule. Dia Mirza ended the day with a beautiful behind-the-scenes (BTS) photo from the sets. In the photo, the actress can be seen wearing a Burqa, which is reported, her look in the Dhak Dhak. Dia looked every inch beautiful in the snap, which she shared in the stories section of Instagram. While sharing the photo. Dia wrote, “#DhakDhak Journey Lage Raho.”

With a concept like consent, it is a black and white concept. But because we don't talk about so many things in our country, whether it's sex, boundaries, or body image, when an uncomfortable situation happens with someone we know, I don't think we are equipped with the tools to handle that situation. So, when a film tries to shine a light on something like that, having an empathetic voice really helps. This is a situation faced, more often than not, by women. So, it helps.  I usually try and avoid assigning gender to a lens through which any narrative is viewed. I think there are some men who are perfectly capable of looking at things with a great sense of empathy and sensitivity. But, I think, it has definitely been a huge advantage for Sakshi to have helmed this narrative. It is an experience that women, more often than not, go through and it is good that a woman has told this story.

 The story itself and the fact that it's not typical. The nuance and simplicity of the narrative really struck a chord with me and the fact that it is a subject that really needs attention. Also, the manner in which it was dealt with. These were the aspects that really drew me to the project. I was excited that Shreya was onboard. She is a very intelligent, fine actor. I've really grown to love her and her work and the choices she's making. Dia is making me sharminda (shy). The script and story were in a grey area where all of us have probably found ourselves at some point. Even though the concept of consent is black and white, people don't know how to recognize a 'No'. This focuses on one particular incident, especially with someone you're familiar with. I think it's important that something like this is out there and we are one small step forward, nonetheless. 

The digital medium has changed not just that aspect but it has also increased the size of the pie. The cake is bigger for everybody. Earlier, I feel, the access was a bit restrained. So, those who had a lot of luck, privilege, and tenacity would make it through. The playground is now huge and opportunities in front and behind the camera have multiplied.  Our sense of discernment needs to improve so that we can have a lot more quality than quantity.
