After the intense military drama Operation Safed Sagar, Mihir Ahuja switches gears with Netflix's family drama Dilwali Diwali.

Centred on a quirky Punjabi family, the film draws inspiration from the relatable thought that ‘home is where the heart is'. "The emotional heart of the story drew me in. I think there is something incredibly beautiful about stories that remind us that home is not just a place; it is the people who make us feel that we belong," says Ahuja, who plays the lead.

The actor believes his choices are shaping his journey in the industry. While he may not have all the answers, he says, "every character and story I take on teaches me something about myself".

Rather than take the easy route, he has allowed himself "to explore, make mistakes, learn, and grow". He adds, "For me, building a career isn't a destination overnight, it's being honest with every step that I take, and trusting that over time those choices will lead me to the actor that I want to become."

Mihir Ahuja made his Bollywood debut in ‘Super 30' (2019), then did ‘The Archies' (2023), ‘Vijay 69', ‘Ma Ka Sum', and ‘Shabad', among others.
