Bollywood actress Dia Mirza, who is expecting her first child with husband Vaibhav Rekhi, recently opened up about rampant sexism in the Hindi film industry. In fact, referring to her 2001 debut film 'Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein', Dia acknowledged that it had sexist elements. In an interview with Brut India, while talking about living in a 'patriarchal society' Dia said, "People were writing, thinking and making sexist cinema and I was a part of these stories... Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein has sexism in it... "Firsts are always special but ''RHTDM'' is a film that was ahead of its time and packaged romance in a beautiful story. Even now, it is difficult to believe it has been 18 years since we shot the film," Dia had said.
