Diana Penty: Meera is an extension of me

8th July 2012

Bollywood's newbie Diana Penty who is making her Bollywood debut opposite Saif Ali Khan in the forthcoming film 'Cocktail' claims that the film is something that happened too fast to her. 

"It literally happened within 24 hours. I auditioned in the evening and by the next evening, I was on. It still seems too ideal to be believed. For the first 24 hours, I didn't believe it. For a week it didn't sink in. I was perplexed as it happened so quickly. This is the quickest, anything has ever happened in my life!" chuckled Diana, who further added that her onscreen character 'Meera' is very much like the real 'Diana'.

"This journey has been like a process of self discovery. It has changed me as a person. I am way more confident. I'm more expressive and vocal. The real Diana and the reel Meera are very, very similar. When I first heard the script, I was like, 'Hey, that girl could be me'. I related to her completely. I am not starry. I am your everyday girl, with not so everyday aspirations in life. And Meera seems like an extension of me in so many ways," added Diana who has caught up fast on popularity.
