Bollywood actress Dia Mirza, who continues to play diverse and multifaceted roles as a climate champion, is a respected, credible voice, speaking up for environmental and wildlife conservation in the country and a torchbearer of eco-sensitivity. On World Environment Day 2024, Dia exclusively tells mid-day.com about moving to Mumbai from Hyderabad and picking the perfect abode all for its dense green cover, her favourite food in the maximum city, and more. 

Dia was asked to name a green space she frequents with her kids, to which the actress replied stating her garden. She elaborates, “The first time I went house hunting in Bandra, I was brought to this building where we`re sitting right now in this home. I was all of 20 and I walked around the building and saw this beautiful lush garden with big trees and the whole apartment, is surrounded by a big dense green cover and tall trees old trees and I`m from Hyderabad. So I was like, ‘This is amazing’. I`ll be able to look out to greenery and one day hopefully my kids will play here. This is my sanctuary and this is where we live and spend so much of our time and the children go to the garden every day. Avyaan definitely does. We watch birds together, walk in the soil, and grass, and grow plants. It`s everything I ever hoped for.”
