75-Year-Old Creator Diva Dadi Makes Netflix Debut In Lust Stories 3

The 75-year-old creator, known for her love of makeup, fashion, photographs and Bollywood gossip, has now appeared in Lust Stories 3, sharing the screen with Aditi Rao Hydari. But her journey to Netflix did not begin with an acting career. It started at home, with her granddaughters and a camera.

Who Is Diva Dadi?

Diva Dadi is the creator behind @dadikikahaniyann, a 109K+ strong Instagram community where she shares the things she genuinely enjoys from fashion and makeup to Bollywood, nostalgic photographs and little stories from her life.

The account is managed by her granddaughters, who began documenting Dadi’s personality and sharing those moments online. Soon, her videos reached an audience far beyond the family.

Her Granddaughters Put Dadi In Front Of The Camera

Before social media, Dadi’s glamorous and playful side was mostly part of her personal life. As family responsibilities and raising children took centre stage, that side of her personality had less room to shine. Her granddaughters changed that by picking up a camera. They started capturing her stories, opinions, fashion moments and love for Bollywood. And instead of creating a social media persona for her, they simply gave people a glimpse of the Dadi they already knew. That became Dadi Ki Kahaniyan.

Diva Dadi’s TV Appearances

Her growing online presence eventually opened doors beyond Instagram. Diva Dadi has appeared on television shows including Laughter Chefs and Naagin, taking her from short-form social media content to mainstream entertainment. But her biggest screen milestone came with her Netflix debut.

Diva Dadi Makes Her Netflix Debut At 75

Diva Dadi appeared in Lust Stories 3, alongside Aditi Rao Hydari. For her family, the moment was especially meaningful. Seeing Dadi share a screen with Aditi and appear on Netflix marked a completely new chapter in her creator journey.

Her family celebrated the milestone on Instagram, describing it as a surreal moment and thanking filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj and casting director Mukesh Chhabra for the opportunity. And there is something especially unexpected about the journey. Diva Dadi wasn’t a longtime actor waiting for her big break. She became a creator first. Then, at 75, she stepped onto a Netflix set.
