Diya comforts cancer patients

Diya Mirza took some time out on Wednesday, Women's Day, to meet with patients at the Cancer Patients Aids Association in Mumbai.

A special screening of Chingaari -- Kalpana Lajme's film about a prostitute and a priest -- was held for the patients, and the filmmaker was joined by Diya and vocalist Ila Arun.

Considering Diya wasn't part of Chingaari, this just might be a rare, genuine Bollywood gesture.
