Diana will be seen alongside Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone in soon-to-be-released film 'Cocktail', directed by Homi Adajania.
"I did modelling for five years, then I felt I wanted to do something different and challenging. That is when I started meeting people and Imtiaz Ali (writer of 'Cocktail') was one of them. Soon the role of Meera came, it was like destiny. I was meant to be Meera and play her," Diana told PTI.
Asked if modelling will take a back seat now that she is trying her luck in films, Diana said, "Now I am fully focusing on films. I will give my 100 percent to it."
"When I started with 'Cocktail', I was trying to figure out if this was something I wanted to do. Now I am sure... I would love to do more films. It's been such a good experience that I hope I have a team like this for my next film too," the debutante said.
Diana confessed to having no ambitions to get into Bollywood and says it all happened by chance.
"Acting was never on the agenda. I can't say that I wanted to be an actress, it just happened along the way. I did not even know that I would be modelling but that also just happened. I did not know where I will be next," she said.
In the promos of 'Cocktail', Diana appears as the shy and pretty Meera.
The film hits the screens this Friday. (MORE)
