In
recent
times,
there
has
been
a
lot
of
buzz
surrounding
issues
of
favouritism
and
camp-ism
in
the
Hindi
film
industry.
While
it
is
very
important
to
debate
on
these
issues
and
work
towards
a
fairer
system
in
the
industry,
this
debate
has
also
been
skewed
by
name-calling
and
putting
down
others,
especially
by
one
particular
celebrity,
Kangana
Ranaut.
Dia
Mirza,
an
actress
who
is
very
much
respected
by
audiences
and
her
colleagues
in
the
industry,
for
her
ability
to
address
less-talked
about
issues
with
poise
and
grace,
opened
up
on
the
insider
versus
outsider
debate
in
the
film
industry.
Dia
shared
that
she
herself
has
been
replaced
by
other
actors
in
films,
and
while
that
is
hurtful,
she
has
chosen
to
dust
herself
off
and
carve
her
own
path.
She
also
argued
that
the
many
of
things
being
said
in
the
name
of
this
debate,
is
out
of
personal
vendetta,
and
that
she
finds
the
attacks
deeply
personal
and
hurtful.
Speaking
to
Hindustan
Times,
Dia
admitted,
"There
are
camps.
Of
course,
there
are
camps!
There
are
camps
of
people
who
get
along
with
each
other,
who
work
closely
and
intimately
with
each
other,
their
personalities
gel."
Continuing
about
favouritism,
she
said,
"I
do
understand
that
if
I
had
been
favoured
by
certain
individuals,
maybe
that
would
have
opened
up
more
opportunities
for
me.
But
I
have
always
believed
that
it
is
important
to
walk
your
own
path
and
set
your
own
course
and
discover
your
own
opportunities.
Yes,
when
I
was
younger,
I
used
to
find
it
very
unsettling.
There
have
been
times
where
I
have
been
disturbed
by
it
as
well.
I
have
lost
films
to
other
actors
and
it's
hurtful
but
you
get
up,
you
dust
it
off
and
you
move
forward.
I
feel
a
personal
agenda
in
a
lot
of
things
that
are
being
said.
I
see
a
lot
of
personal
bone
to
pick
with
people.
I
find
a
lot
of
the
attacks
deeply
personal
and
hurtful.
That's
why
I
feel
it's
unhealthy."
Dia
also
said,
"Even
when
artists
comment
on
certain
situations,
until
the
big
stars
don't
comment
on
it,
the
media
will
always
say
the
industry
is
not
speaking
about
it.
No,
but
the
industry
has
spoken
about
it.
Certain
artists
have
not
but
to
a
larger
audience
or
population
or
even
to
the
media,
until
certain
individuals
speak,
it's
not
perceived
as
the
industry.
I
think
this
is
an
issue
that
we
have
innately,
within
us.
It's
a
structural
and
perceptional
issue.
It's
also
something
that
has
been
created
by
the
media."
