Dia: I would love to date Kunal
The buzz is that Dia Mirza is dating Kunal Kapoor. The actress, last seen in an item song in Phir Hera Pheri, denies any hera-pheri with the Rang De Basanti actor.

Mirza has just returned from a long outdoor in South Africa for her next film, Cash. Apparently, the actress has worn a bikini in the film. Read on…
Are you dating Kunal Kapoor?
Gosh! Straight to the point! (laughs) I know people are talking about this, but I am not dating Kunal Kapoor.
Please continue…
I wish something were happening between Kunal and me. He is so cute. I would love to go out with him.
Define the current 'relationship' with him.
We are great buddies. I am very fond of him. If this one went through, I will be the happiest person.
What do you like about him?
He is a wonderful person. He is a very sincere, honest and emotionally rich. I feel very inspired when I am with him.
Are you physically drawn towards him?
Every girl is. He is a very good-looking guy.
Where did you meet Kunal considering both of you haven't worked together?
We have not worked together. But I am not answering this one. Why can't some things be left as unexplained mysteries of life?
Tell us about your role in Cash?
Cash is the first film where I am playing a negative character. I am very glamorously dressed in the film. And how can I forget the five-metres water dive, which I practised rigorously in South Africa along with a special trainer.
I have always been a water baby. I love swimming. But I never dived into the pool from a height. And this dive is from a height of at least two-and-a-half storeys.
Has this dive already been shot?
Not yet. It will be soon shot in Mumbai.
And you'll wear a swimsuit for it?
Yes.
A bikini?
Wait and watch.
The truth behind Sana's ouster
It is popular belief that Sana Panscholi was dropped from Suneel Darshan's Shaka Laka Boom Boom as her acting abilities were not up to the mark and the role was proving complex for her. But the truth is something else.
Sana Panscholi
Darshan had never doubted Sana's acting capabilities. What troubled him was the youngster's uneasiness in wearing a short outfit. Moreover, she literally froze when she told about a shot, which would require her to lie atop Upen Patel. Suneel did not ask her to pack her bags. He called up her parents — Aditya Panscholi and Zarina Wahab. Zarina told the director to send her daughter back.
Sana's reservations
When contacted, Zarina tried to brush the truth under the carpet but later admitted, "Yes, that's exactly how it happened. I wish people get to the root of the matter before dashing off their reports. Sana was so depressed after reading all that."
Why was Sana so uncomfortable with the short dress? Doesn't she wear sexy outfits in real life, like most youngsters of today? Zarina replies, "She does wear hot and sexy outfits in real life. But in a film, it's different; you need more guts. Camera ke saamne bend karna padta hai. The whole crew is watching. Add this, to the fact that she had to lie atop Upen in front of so many people."
Professional Zarina
Elaborating further, Zarina said that she put professional ethics in front of personal interests. "Suneel was suffering. He was not getting what he wanted. But he never broached the subject of dropping my daughter. He simply expressed his helplessness. I took a call. I asked him to send her back."
"My daughter is just 18 and hadn't faced the camera ever before. Every role needs a certain amount of preparation. My times were different. Those days, we were covered from head to toe. Wait till Sana is 20, she will be ready to do exactly the kind of work that the industry needs," concludes the optimistic mother.
