Diana Penty might be an incidental introvert in the boisterous world of Indian cinema but her compelling onscreen presence proves she isn’t one to get lost in the crowd.
On an idle weekend, I decided to immerse myself in some teenage nostalgia and re-watch Mean Girls – a cult chick-flick of our times. While the film explores the complexities of female friendships and the euphoria of high-school popularity, it made me question my own reclusive nature. Then I met our cover girl, Diana Penty who tells me she didn’t know how to deal with her initial streak of fame. Instead of bolting into new-fangled narcissism she stayed cooped up at home for a few weeks until she learnt how to handle her newly found fame. I instantly felt a wave of relief coupled with endearment. There are several factors that make Penty amicable; for starters she remains grounded despite gracing international runways and playing muse to several designers. “I’m the only child, I was always extremely reserved, and modelling was such a far-fetched concept while growing up. I’ve had a very regular upbringing in Bombay and went on to study Mass Media in college. I come from a family of photographers; my uncle Denzel was a fashion photographer back in the day so I was used to watching models darting in and out of his studio but never considered it as a potential career choice for myself.”
