Seeing the movie ‘Pran Jaye Par Shaan Jaye’, I still shiver
In Mahesh Manjrekar’s 2003 black comedy film ‘Pran Jaye Par Shaan Na Jaay’, Dia Mirza played the role of a girl whom the society did not consider beautiful.
- Diya told about this film,
“I was deliberately shown black in this film. Makeup was done on my face so that my color looks dark. But the color of my eyes was kept the same. “
- At the end of the film, when the character’s transformation was shown, I was made blonde and my eyes were made gray.
- “I did not understand all this at that time, but when I watch this film today, I get scared. I go to the shudder. “
