Dia Mirza says she would have questioned certain aspects of 'RHTDM' if she was offered the film today

Dia Mirza has said that if she was offered 'Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein' today she would question certain aspects of it.

In an interview with Outlook, when Dia was asked whether such a film could attract audience if it was made today, the actor replied, ‘I can’t speak about whether that film can be made or not, because all kinds of films are going around. But if I was offered that film, I would question certain aspects of the film and hope that the writers would change it. I internalised some aspects of that film and realised that had to do with the right propagation of love. I am strongly against stalking. I think it is a terrible thing to do.’

Dia also talked about the glorification of stalking in her debut movie. She said, ‘Not only does Maddy’s character stalk Reena, but he also lies to her. Of course, she breaks off the relationship with him once she discovers the truth, only to then realise that he is remorseful and genuinely loves and cares for her. But there is no justification in this world for stalking, lying is bad, and stalking is worse.’

She added, ‘I guess as a society, we don’t perceive stalking as a bad thing. I feel our films are responsible for spreading that sense of falsehood as the right thing.’

For the unversed, in the film, Madhavan (Maddy) falls in love with Dia (Reena) and pretends to be her fiancé. He lies to her and tries to win her over.
