Bollywood actress Dia Mirza has often made headlines for both her acclaimed performances and her personal life. While many know about her successful film career and her two marriages, fewer are aware of her views on religion and her family background. As the actress gears up for the release of Ikka, here's a closer look at what Dia Mirza has revealed about her faith.

Dia Mirza has spent over two decades in Hindi cinema and has been part of several memorable films. She will next be seen alongside Sunny Deol and Akshaye Khanna in the upcoming film Ikka, which is set to premiere on Netflix.
