Diana Penty on being approached for Rockstar

In a recent interview with Hauterrfly, Diana recalled how she was first approached to play the lead role in Rockstar before making her debut in Cocktail. She recalled, "I was in New York, modelling, and I got a call from my agency. They told me Imtiaz Ali was looking for a new girl for his film Rockstar and that I must meet him. Films were never on my radar, and I had never taken formal training in acting. I never had the confidence that I could be an actor one day. I never believed that I would ever be able to pull it off. So I flew back for the meeting. At the first meeting, I was like, ‘Wow, he is such a nice person.’"
