Dia Mirza: Women in the 21st century are very liberated, very spirited, strong, and very conditioned to life, I see a lot of cynicism or aggression as well, in time of protecting themselves, they tend to get overtly aggressive. I think the most beautiful thing about being a woman is her strength and vulnerability.
