A number of Bollywood celebrities kicked off their careers in showbiz by modeling first, and then achieving stardom on the movie screen. One example is the beautiful Diana Penty, who initially made a name for herself as a model, landing prominent gigs with leading designers and well-known brands worldwide.

Ever since I set my eyes on that 2012 cinematic masterpiece, Cocktail, alongside the charismatic Saif Ali Khan and the radiant Deepika Padukone, I’ve been completely captivated. My entrance into Bollywood was as smooth as a silk glove sliding onto my hand, and it seemed like everyone took notice. Since then, I’ve been carving out my unique space in this vibrant industry with my raw talent and timeless elegance, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of millions.

Diana Penty hails from Mumbai, India, where she was born on November 2, 1985, to a Parsi father and a Konkani Christian mother. This versatile Indian actress and model completed her education at St. Agnes High School in Mumbai, followed by earning a bachelor’s degree in Mass Media from St. Xavier’s College.

In 2005, Diana kick-started her modeling journey with Elite Models India. She marked her catwalk introduction at the Indo-Italian Festival for Italian designers Nicola Trussardi and Gianfranco Ferré.
