Dia Mirza and Sahil Sangha's beautiful love story

October 18, 2014

Dia Mirza wedMumbai, Oct 18: Tying the knot with her longtime beau Sahil Sangha, Dia Mirza has come a long way after winning the Miss Asia Pacific title. Counted among the most beautiful actresses in Bollywood, Dia Mirza may have taken a sabbatical from acting but she still rules the hearts of her fans. The actress has now ventured into filmmaking with beau Sahil and is now set to embark on a new chapter with him. Read on about their simple but special love story.

Sahil Sangha and Dia Mirza own a film production company called Born Free Entertainment. The first production venture under their banner was Love Breakups Zindagi in 2011 which was directed by Sahil himself. Vidya Balan-starrer Bobby Jasoos was their latest venture that was a critically acclaimed commercial success. Dia had said during the promotions of Bobby Jasoos that the film is an answer to those who think that she is short of work. Sahil and Dia wish to make their production house, a credible brand and want to give chance to new directors and actors.

Sahil and Dia have been often spotted together at the parties, red carpets and events. The two not only complement each other in their choices, but are also counted among the best jodis of the B-town. After the rumours of their link-up, Dia Mirza finally announced their union at the music launch of their film Love Breakups Zindagi. However, it took them four years to tie the knot.

As told to Bombay Times, Dia Mirza had been waiting since a long time for Sahil to propose marriage, but he took his time with the promise of making it special which he did. She even joked that when their marriage date got fixed last year, she thought he would propose after the wedding. Finally Sahil proposed to Dia this year in the middle of the Brooklyn Bridge in New York. He got down on his knees and held her hand to confess his love amid a crowd of clapping tourists. And she was left with a smile on her face and tears in her eyes.

A few serious medical emergencies led them to delay their wedding plans until things were set right. Also, they got busy with their production venture Bobby Jasoos which further delayed their wedding. After a long wait and much speculations, they finally announced that the wedding would take place on October 18, in Delhi. Dia Mirza also skipped the Maharashtra Assembly Elections for her wedding celebrations.

Sahil and Dia Mirza first met when he visited her with a script. According to Bombay Times, Vikram Phadnis up Sahil's meeting with Dia Mirza. Sahil had earlier worked with Vikram in Salaam-E-Ishq. Interestingly, they didn't realise until much later that they were in love. Sahil once told Bombay Times in an interview, "What I love the most about her is that in one word, she is pure. She is very giving and all heart, which is also a problem as then you need to take care of your heart. She lights up a room as soon as she walks in."

As told to Filmfare, both Dia and Sahil love eating and cooking and often hang around in the kitchen. While Dia is a traditional cook with an expertise in Hyderabadi cuisine specially biryani, Sahil has a flair for cooking Italian, Continental, European and Thai food. Sahil has worked as a waiter and has also tried his hands at publishing and working as a salesman. Sahil loves to cook for his lady.

New Delhi, Apr 23: As the holy month of Ramzan is about to begin, several Muslim public figures on Thursday appealed to the community to offer tarawih and hold iftar inside their homes and follow the lockdown regulations imposed to tackle the coronavirus threat.

Television actor Iqbal Khan in a video message appealed to the people to not step out of their houses during Ramzan.

"This time around, whatever you do during Ramzan, you have to do it inside your houses. Do not visit mosques; offer tarawih (late evening prayers offered during Ramzan) at your homes. Your stepping outside will not only put you in a problem but may put your family members in trouble also," said Khan.

"And that will be wrong, do not go outside. If anyone says you have to go outside then they are wrong. Stay home and stay safe and help others stay safe too," he added.

Another TV actor and Tik Tok star Jannat Zubair asked people to avoid any kind of social gatherings so as to ensure the safety of everyone.

"I know we are in a difficult situation but there is no need to panic. We will overcome this and things will be fine. The holy month of Ramzan is going to start, please stay home, offer prayers at your homes and avoid family/friends gatherings for now. It is just a matter of time, things will be fine soon. Stay home and stay safe," she said.
Ramzan is likely to begin from April 24.

Washington, Feb 19: Popular Indian-American stand-up comedian Hasan Minhaj, who has been critical of both US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, would perform at the annual dinner of the White House Correspondents Association.

Hasan Minhaj, whose parents come from Aligarh in Uttar Pradesh, will serve as the entertainer at the event.

Kenan Thompson, the actor, and longest-tenured Saturday Night Live cast-member will serve as the host for the annual White House Correspondents Association's (WHCA) dinner on April 25.

"Hasan Minhaj, the Peabody award-winning host of Netflix's Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj, will return to the dinner as featured entertainer," the WHCA announced.

"Kenan and Hasan are two of the most engaged and engaging entertainers in America. I'm thrilled they'll help us celebrate the role of a free press in our democracy," said Jonathan Karl, Chief White House Correspondent for ABC News and president of the WHCA.

"We're looking forward to a lively evening honouring the most important political journalism of the past year," he said.

President Trump who has skipped the WHCA dinner for the last three years is unlikely to attend this time as well.

Hasan Minhaj has hosted his Netflix show since 2018, drawing critics' raves, including a Peabody award in 2019, for his humorous and informed examination of issues of domestic and global import.

He was the entertainer at the 2017 WHCA Dinner when he was a senior correspondent on The Daily Show. His one-hour Netflix comedy special Hasan Minhaj: Homecoming King was released in 2017, for which he won his first Peabody Award in 2018.

Kenan Thompson began his career as a member of Nickelodeon's sketch series All That. Kenan Thompson is currently in his 17th season on SNL where he has set a record for the most celebrity impressions performed on the show.

In 2018, he received an Emmy Award for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics and a nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series.

At its annual dinner, WHCA will be presenting two new awards at the 2020 dinner: The Katharine Graham Award for Courage and Accountability and the Award for Excellence in Presidential News Coverage by Visual Journalists.

These are in addition to the longstanding Aldo Beckman Award for Overall Excellence in White House Coverage and Merriman Smith Award for Excellence in Presidential News Coverage Under Deadline Pressure.

This year's dinner will also include the inaugural presentation of the Collier Prize for State Government Accountability, administered by the University of Florida''s College of Journalism and Communications to recognize outstanding statehouse reporting.

Patna, Jan 22: Actor Kangana Ranaut has expressedher desire to make a movie on Chandragupta, the shepherd-turned-emperor who founded the Maurya dynasty, noting that the film industry has “not done enough justice to our history”.

The national award winner was here to take part in a programme organised by the publishers of a leading Hindi daily where she performed a jig to the tunes of Bhojpuri songs along with actor-turned-politician Ravi Kishan before the duo participated in a question and answer session.  Replying to the questions posed by Kishan, who is also the BJP MP from Gorakhpur, Ranaut on Tuesday said it was her second trip to Bihar.

“The last time, I was here as a child though I have not yet got a chance to explore the state with which I feel a connect as my Yoga teacher has his roots here,” she said.

Ranaut, who won acclaim for portraying Rani Laxmibai, the valiant queen of Jhansi who took on the British during the revolt of 1857 -- in ‘Manikarnika’, when asked if she would like to be associated with a film on any historical figure from Bihar, said, “It would be Chandragupta Maurya. The film industry has not done much justice to our history”.

A self-confessed admirer of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the 32-year-old, who has won three National Awards in the Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress categories, replied in the affirmative when asked about reports that she has turned producer and her first venture is based on the theme of Ram temple in Ayodhya.

The Himachal Pradesh-born actress, who has courted controversy for taking on well-entrenched Bollywood “insiders” like Karan Johar and Hrithik Roshan, said she has had a rebellious streak since childhood and shared an anecdote about her breaking her teacher’s stick upon being hit for chatting with a classmate in school.

When Kishan asked why she has gained so much weight, Ranaut replied it was in preparation for her upcoming biopic “Thalaivi”, based on late Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa.

The actress said her forthcoming release “Panga” is a family drama.

Ranaut said after landing in Patna, she gorged on ‘Litti Chokha’, a local delicacy.

She also regaled the audience by greeting them in Bhojpuri and repeating several commonly used phrases of the dialect after Kishan.
