Besides acting in films, Dia Mirza has a talent for painting too.

Dia was introduced to painting in her early childhood by her late father Frank Handrich, who was a German painter. Although her father passed away when she was very young, Dia never gave up trying to sketch or paint.


Today, when she has made her own little place in Bollywood, Dia continues to paint in her free time. Painting paraphernalia like easel, palette, brushes and paints can be seen in her bedroom, which also serves as a workshop for Dia.

However, Dia doesn’t keep any of her works. She keeps gifting her canvas creations to friends and relatives.

According to a report, Dia’s latest creation is a painting depicting moonlight reflected in the sea. Dia has also tried her hand at some portraits and abstract paintings. But she is humble enough to admit that she is still in learning stages.

Apart from Dia, Bollywood actors Sushmita Sen and Salman Khan also paint in their free time.
