Diana, seen in "Happy Bhag Jayegi", said: "It (modelling) can be used as one (platform), Yes, and why not... I feel, as a model, specially India, there is only this much (in modelling that) you can do and after that it's a natural progression into the world of films. It's kind of one that leads to another," she added.
The 30-year-old actress says "a lot of people start modelling if they want to get into films later."
"But that doesn't work for me. I was modelling at that time because it worked for me at that time, then I went abroad to model," Diana added.
