Dia is also known for her charity work. 'I support causes related to the environment because the least we can do is make little changes that will go a long way. One person can make a difference by creating awareness,' she smiles.
Dia has no hassles about stepping out in public places. 'People in Mumbai are used to seeing stars, so they don't bother you, and even if they do, there is nothing wrong or disturbing about posing for a photograph or talking to them for a minute or two. I have a privileged life, so I should not complain, but I know I cannot step out freely in cities in North India,' she says matter-of-factly.
Dia attends events often, but is rarely in the news for any rumours. 'I would rather stay in the shadows than be in the news for the wrong reasons. I like doing my work and going home. I stay away from gossip-mongers and live my own life, which is why I'm happy,' she smiles.
