The actress was locked inside her dressing room minutes before her show-stopper entry
The fashion week which kicked off last week in the city in a suburban hotel had its first 'oops' moment with Dia Mirza. The pretty actress was the show stopper for Khusali Kumar, daughter of late music tycoon Gulshan Kumar, for her 'fairy tale' collection. However, it nearly turned into a nightmare with Dia getting locked up in her dressing room by accident.
An eye witness backstage informed Mumbai Mirror, "The models were walking on the ramp as choreographed and everything was going fine. Dia was inside her dressing room doing her final touch up. The event managers were instructed to alert her as soon as her musical cue was played. To everyone's horror, her door somehow got locked and despite the coordinators trying their best, it refused to open."
Meanwhile, neither the models nor the audience were aware about what was happening inside as everything appeared seamless on the ramp.
The eye witness adds, "Twenty seconds before her appearance, a panic-stricken coordinator said 'I don't care how you open the door she has to be on stage right now because her cue has already started."'
What followed was considerable banging and a smashing down of the obstinate door after which a rattled Dia, was rushed to the stage.
Thankfully, it was just in time for an applause. When contacted, Mirza told this newspaper, "Yes, I was stuck."
