Dia Mirza talks about Dhak Dhak
In an exclusive interview with Pinkvilla, Dia Mirza was asked how women should be represented in films. In response, the actress stated that many goals have been "woven into the narrative" of Dhak Dhak. She said, "But it's taken the Hindi film industry only 110 years to put Uzma, Manjari, Mahi, and Sky at the center of their narrative and tell such an uplifting, motivating, inspiring story about four women who are identified by a vast majority of women in our country."
Dia said that she witnessed many privileged women also see a part of themselves in these characters. She also mentioned her previous film Thappad, and said that these films have shaped the way women perceive themselves.

Dia Mirza on having a female priest at her wedding
In the same interview, Dia spoke about her decision to have a female priest at her wedding with businessman Vaibhav Rekhi in 2021. The actress said that she was moved by how this woman named Sheela Atta performed those rituals. She added, "It's only when we did the wedding that we realized what a rarity it is that is so uncommon, that profession is not perceived to be one that woman can follow." Dia then added, "No profession should have gender. Everyone should be able to do every single job."
