Career
modelling career (2005–2011)

Penty began her modelling career when she sent her photographs to Elite Models India, who liked her work and suggested she take up modelling assignments. 

At this stage, she was in college and was reluctant to choose a career in modeling, so Penty decided to work part-time as a fashion model. 

In 2005, Penty officially started working for Elite Models India and made her runway debut at the Indo-Italian Festival for Italian designers Nicola Trussardi and Gianfranco Ferré. 

Thereafter, Penty modelled for several other Indian designers, including Wendell Rodricks, Rohit Bal, and Rina Dhaka. 

By 2007, she had established a successful modelling career after appearing in print campaigns for some of India\\\’s most prominent brands, including Tribhovandas Bhimji Zaveri, Parachute, and Westside, as well as appearing on the covers of a few Indian fashion magazines.

The following year, Penty went on to model on an international circuit when she started to endorse global brands, excluding Maybelline, Garnier, and Forever 21. 

On Penty\\\’s international appeal, the CEO of Elite Models India, Sushma Puri, commented, \\\”Diana has a face that is very versatile and appeals to both Indian and international markets, and she is also young, beautiful, and confident.\\\” This makes her the ideal choice for any international brand.\\\” 

Later in her modelling career, Penty started to receive film offers, though she believed herself to be too inexperienced and rejected them to focus on modelling. 

From 2008 to 2010, Penty established herself internationally after modelling for fashion weeks in Paris and New York.

Film debut and breakthrough (2012–2018)

Penty was originally slated to make her Bollywood debut in 2011 with Imtiaz Ali\\\’s Rockstar opposite Ranbir Kapoor, although she rejected the film due to her modelling commitments at the time and was subsequently replaced by Nargis Fakhri. She later signed up for Homi Adajania\\\’s cocktail instead, at Ali\\\’s suggestion. 

The film, which starred Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone, received mixed to positive reviews. Penty\\\’s portrayal of Meera, a simple Indian girl with traditional values, was well received by critics. 

Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama commented that \\\”Diana, who makes her acting debut, gets to portray a rather difficult character for her debut film.\\\” 

\\\”There\\\’s a very disarming kind of innocence that she brings to the role, and she impresses a great deal.\\\” 

Raja Sen agreed, mentioning that she is \\\”refreshingly natural.\\\” Anupama Chopra added that \\\”Diana is saddled with the most colourless character, but… infuses her role with a quiet poise and holds her own.\\\” 

Her performance earned her nominations for best debut and best supporting actress at numerous Indian award ceremonies, including the International Indian Film Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. Cocktail emerged as a box-office hit.

After a four-year absence from the screen, Penty played the titular runaway bride in Aanand L. Rai\\\’s production Happy Bhag Jayegi (2016), written and directed by Mudassar Aziz, which tells the story of her character\\\’s ensuing adventures when, in an attempt to elope with her lover, she instead ends up on the other side of the border, much to the chagrin of a young politician whose house she ends up in. 

About the break from acting, Penty said: \\\”It wasn\\\’t a conscious break.\\\” I was taking my time, looking to be a part of an interesting story. \\\”I didn\\\’t want to do anything that came my way.\\\” The film earned mixed reviews from critics but was a sleeper hit. 

Rohit Bhatnagar wrote that Penty \\\”steals the spotlight in every frame,\\\” while Anna M. M. Vetticad of Firstpost said: \\\”Penty is brimming with potential… but her Happy, despite being the titular protagonist, is the most under-written character.\\\”

Her sole role in 2017 was that of Gayatri Kashyap, a diligent NGO worker who champions the cause of a band formed by a group of prison inmates, in debutante Ranjit Tiwari\\\’s prison film Lucknow Central, which starred her alongside Farhan Akhtar. The Times of India noted that she plays her part well.

Penty had two releases in 2018. Her first appearance was as Captain Ambalika Bandyopadhyay opposite John Abraham in Abhishek Sharma\\\’s period drama Parmanu: The Story of Pokhran, which was a commercial success. 

Bollywood Hungama mentioned, \\\”Diana Penty has a crucial part and essays the no-nonsense character very well.\\\” 

In her second appearance of the year, she reprised her titular role in Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi, a sequel to Happy Bhag Jayegi, alongside Sonakshi Sinha, who played the film\\\’s eponymous namesake; the film underperformed compared to the prequel.

Recent work (2019–present)

In 2019, she had a special song appearance alongside singer Badshah and actors Suniel Shetty and Raveena Tandon as the proverbial \\\”Shehar Ki Ladki\\\” in a promotional music video of the song, a remake of an eponymous hit, for Khandaani Shafakhana (2019).

Penty portrayed Ira Sharma Sehgal, a socially conscious public service volunteer who has a friction of ideology with her husband, in director Kunal Deshmukh\\\’s 2021 romantic drama Shiddat. 

India Today noted, \\\”Though Radhika Madan and Diana Penty get extremely limited screen time in comparison to their male counterparts, the ladies leave a mark as free-spirited, practical, and open-minded women.\\\” 

Penty made her Malayalam film debut in the 2022 film Salute alongside Dulquer Salmaan, who portrays Salmaan\\\’s love interest, Dia. 

Hindustan Times mentioned, \\\”The women have very little to contribute to the film, and Diana Penty gets wasted in a role that has no impact.\\\”

She will next appear in Dharma Productions\\\’ \\\”Selfie\\\” alongside Akshay Kumar and Emraan Hashmi. She will also portray the lead in Shabbir Khan\\\’s Adbhut alongside Nawazuddin Siddiqui.
