Noted actress Dia Mirza started her filmi journey with really small steps - as a background dancer in South Indian films.
A 1999 Tamil film En Swasa Kaatre shows her grooving to music though as one of support cast. You can spot her in an orange t-shirt and looking a little shy.
The movie had Arvind Swamy and Isha Koppikar in the lead cast and was a flop. But the song, Jumbalaka, in which Dia danced went on to become a big hit. Talk about the star power.
But Dia was soon to become famous. The very next year she won the Miss Asia Pacific 2000 title and came to limelight.
She made her Bollywood debut soon after and went on to become a popular actress.
