Actress-activist Dia Mirza, impressed by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, says young people need leaders to help them recognise the power of their voice. Dia, who met Trudeau last month in Delhi as the UN Goodwill Ambassador for India, was floored to see how "well he knows young minds".

"Young people need leaders to help them recognise the power of their voice," she added.
