Actress Diya Mirza, known for her prim and proper image in films, is currently enjoying being bad in Suparn Verma’s Acid Factory.

Diya is the only woman in the entire script and plays a girl locked up in a factory with four men with apparently no way out. She is being made to do the most impossible stunts, but the actress doesn’t mind.

"What I enjoy is being one of the boys. I’m doing everything that the boys are being made to do. And that includes all the stunts," Diya told IANS.

"After playing dainty, utterly feminine roles I’m enjoying being put on a harness, dangling from ropes, jumping from heights, kicking and punching. In spite of my dainty image, I’ve always been a tomboy," she added.

What Diya enjoys even more is being mean.

"My character is bad through and through. No apologies. No justification. She just enjoys being bad. I like bringing that dark side of me out on screen because that’s the way I can tap into it in real life.

"I like the surprise element in my role in Acid Factory. I remember seeing a film with Julia Roberts where she was a school teacher by day and quite naughty in the night," said Diya, who entered Bollywood with romantic film Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein opposite Madhavan.
