"If I was offered that film today, I would question certain aspects of the film", Dia Mirza opens up on Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein
Several of the 90s movies have fallen off the radar in today's woke culture as viewers reconsider how offensively certain things were portrayed in movies. On the other side, celebrities are no longer afraid to speak out on issues they don't agree with. Dia Mirza is a performer who doesn't hesitate to speak up, and this time she did so when discussing her first movie, Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein (RHTDM). The actress acknowledged that the movie incorrectly presented some events in a recent interview.
She said, “If I was offered that film (today), I would question certain aspects of the film and hope that the writers would change it. I internalized some aspects of that film and realized that had to do with the right propagation of love. I am strongly against stalking. I think it is a terrible thing to do. Not only does Maddy's character stalk Reena, but he also lies to her. Of course, she breaks off the relationship with him once she discovers the truth only to then realize that he is remorseful and genuinely loves and cares for her.”
She went on to add, “But there is no justification in this world for stalking, lying is bad, and stalking is worse. I know that some films have been made in the recent past that had similar scenes that have done exceptionally well at the box-office. I guess as a society we don’t perceive stalking as a bad thing. I feel our films are responsible for spreading that sense of falsehood as the right thing.”
