The actress was nominated for the 'Best Debut' award at multiple award functions like BIG Star, Filmfare Awards, Screen Awards, Zee Cine Awards, and many more.

Some of Diana Penty's most famous films are Happy Bhaag Jayegi, Parmanu: The Story of Pokhran, Shiddat, Selfiee, Azaad, and Chhaava. Talking about Diana's character in Chhaava, which is undoubtedly the biggest character she has played in her acting career so far, courtesy of its historical background. Zinat-un-Nissa was the second daughter of Aurangzeb and Dilras Banu Begum. Her father conferred Zinat as the honourable Padshah Begum. When Aurangzeb marched with an army of 8,00,000 soldiers to fight against Chhatrapati Sambhaji Raje Bhonsle, he was joined by his daughter.

Upon Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj's unfortunate death at the hands of Aurangzeb and his military, Yesubai Bhonsale and her son, Shahu Maharaj, were captured by the Mughal army. However, it was at that moment when Aurangzeb's daughter, Zinat-un-Nissa, stepped in and took Yesubai and Shahu under her wings. After the death of Aurangzeb, Zinat was the one who told Shahu to leave the Mughal camp and head straight to his homeland. Courtesy of her kindness, the Maratha empire commissioned a mosque in the memory of Zinat-un-Nissa in Maharashtra. The Mughal princess died at 77 in Delhi.
