Dia Mirza shares sweet birthday wish for daughter Samaira
Actor Dia Mirza celebrates daughter Samaira's 15th birthday with touching Instagram post, sharing heartfelt moments and warm wishes.
Actress Dia Mirza is naturally excited about her first Telugu film, Wild Dog. She grew up in Hyderabad, and she says she got a chance to brush up on her spoken Telugu skills while working in the action thriller starring superstar Nagarjuna.
“I was brought up in Hyderabad, so I learnt Telugu in school. I used to read and write Telugu till sixth grade, so doing this film was a good revision course of Telugu. I think the special thing about languages is that once you learn it you don’t forget it completely. You might not speak it on a daily basis but once you start speaking it you remember everything you have learnt as a child,” Dia told IANS.
She added: “I remembered a Telugu poem that was taught to me in school, so I used to hum it every time on the set (laughs), and everyone on set would laugh at me because it’s like a nursery rhyme or school poetry. I think once you learn riding a cycle, swimming or speaking a certain language, you don’t forget that in your lifetime.”

Talking about the film and her role, Dia said: “‘Wild Dog’ is an action film and I have been a part of action films in the past, but I am playing a very dramatic and emotional character in this film.”
The film is written and directed by debutant Ahishor Solomon, and it stars Nagarjuna, Dia Mirza, Saiyami Kher and Atul Kulkarni.
