Actor and environmental advocate Dia Mirza Rekhi has opened up about the judgment and trolling she faces for sharing her social and political opinions. In a recent interview, the Operation Safed Sagar actor addressed how women in the entertainment industry are often perceived differently when they choose to speak up on important issues. Dia revealed that she has frequently encountered condescending remarks from within the film fraternity itself, sharing that there have been several instances where her male co-actors remarked, “oh, ye to activist hai, andolan wali hai”. She noted that such comments were never intended as compliments, reflecting deep-seated patriarchal conditioning where women in showbiz are rarely expected or encouraged to voice their opinions openly.
Addressing the relentless online criticism and backlash directed at her views, Dia explained that she remains unaffected because her intentions always stem from a place of genuine care rather than anger or hostility. She shared that whenever she faces opposition or sponsored trolling, she approaches it with curiosity to understand where the backlash originates and why people react the way they do. The actor emphasized that artistes hold a privileged position in society, asserting that if they do not use their platform to drive positive social change, then their public influence loses its core purpose.
Dia’s candid observations come at a time when she continues to make headlines both for her acting projects and her outspoken advocacy on environmental and social causes. On the work front, the actor has enjoyed a busy period with back-to-back releases in films like Alpha and Ikka, as well as her recent role in the web series Operation Safed Sagar. Despite facing public scrutiny over her statements, Dia reaffirmed her commitment to using her voice for meaningful conversations, encouraging more colleagues in the film industry to step up and make a difference.
