Something more about me Dia Mirza was born in Hyderabad, India, she is of Bengali origin. Her father, Frank Handrich, was a German interior designer from Munich and her mother is Deepa, a Bengali Indian.

They separated when she was six years old. Her father died when she was nine and her mother remarried Ahmed Mirza who died in 2004. She retained a Muslim surname (Mirza) from her stepfather, though she herself is a Hindu. Later she adopted the last name of her birth-father and became Dia Mirza Handrich.

Dia wanted to complete her graduation in Arts by correspondence, but decided to postpone it as it was becoming difficult to juggle between the Miss Asia Pacific Competition, modeling assignments, traveling and training.
