Her father was a German interior designer; her mother is Bengali. They separated when she was six years old. Her father died when she was nine.

At the age of 16 Diya Mirza was working as a marketing executive at sriven Mult-tech in Hyderabad. She earned a monthly salary of Rs 5000, with a 15 per cent commision on every ad revenue she fetched for the company.

Diya Mirza has done an advertising campaign which appeared in femina. After the pictures came out she was encouraged to participate in the Miss India competition.
Her confidence belies her status in the industry. But it is her keen sense of direction and her intrinsic intelligence which makes her so poised and confident. She's all of 20 and yet has accomplished so much.

Diya Mirza made her film debut with Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein opposite Madhavan. The film was not a box office success. A series of unsuccessful films followed, among them Tumsa Nahin Dekha and Deewanapan. In 2005 Diya Mirza appeared in supporting roles in two hit films: Parineeta and Dus. In 2006, she will be seen in Fight Club and Kabhi Bhi Kahin Bhi.
