Diya Mirza is back to Mumbai from New York. She was there to perform live for the Bollywood Awards. Diya enjoyed the experience of performing in front of a live audience. "To perform on stage is so different from shooting for the camera."

She even visited the tourist sites around the Big Apple and paid her tribute at the Ground Zero. "For someone who had not seen the twin towers, I felt extremely moved. So you can imagine what those who saw it everyday must be going through?" Diya also watched how the Americans celebrate their independence day. "The 4th July is really a special day for them!" she said. And this shopaholic shopped, shopped and shopped. "I just had a ball," she laughed.
