Dia Mirza. She's one of those people whose beauty grows with each passing year. She still looks like a beauty queen even after two decades of winning a pageant. There's a glow to her cheeks which the years haven't dimmed, only increased. The new mother radiates health and fulfilment. One can say that motherhood has added to her grace and charm. Our interview begins with her talking about her son Avyaan Azaad Rekhi. We bond over his adorable photos and then set down to chat. She's all ears keeps her phone away as I begin...

STAR OF THE MONTH

You've been known for a lot of experimental roles. What goes into that choice?

I'm at an age and stage of my life and career where I want to be a part of stories that can lead to insight and introspection. And possibly even lead to change. I'm really grateful for the parts that I'm getting to play. And I think Dhak Dhak is a gift that every artiste waits for. I was 40 when I signed the film. The fact that four women from entirely different age groups, unknown to each other, come together to take a journey on their bikes from Delhi to Khardung-La and then not only discover themselves but also each other and form a sisterhood. It's been written by two sensitive men, Tarun Dudeja and Parijat Joshi. It has been produced by two sensitive producers, Pranjal Khandhdiya and Taapsee Pannu, who really care about making a difference.

Doing a road movie must have been challenging.
