Dia Mirza has recalled what she described as one of the most difficult experiences of her early career: filming a song sequence for the 2004 film Tumsa Nahi Dekha while nearly undressed in front of a large crew.
In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, Mirza said she had to strip down to her underwear and bra for the song Mujhe Tumse Mohabbat Hai, surrounded by hundreds of men on set. She called it possibly the hardest thing she had done as a young woman.
Despite the discomfort, Mirza said the crew made her feel safe and the experience ultimately liberated her. The actor, who won Miss Asia Pacific in 2000 and debuted in Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein, continues to work in film and streaming projects.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Mirza's account adds to a recurring pattern in Bollywood where female actors describe being put in vulnerable on-set situations without adequate safeguards. The film industry has no formal code of conduct for intimate scenes, the Cine & TV Artistes' Association has proposed guidelines but they remain non-binding. The experience Mirza describes predates the #MeToo movement in India and the rise of intimacy coordinators on sets, a practice still rare in mainstream Hindi cinema. Whether streaming platforms now enforce stricter protocols will be tested as more actors speak out.
