The Rehna Hai Tere Dil Main star recalled some of her memories where she described how much of her childhood in Hyderabad was spent “in an environment that fostered deep abiding relationship and connection with nature. It was possible because at that time Hyderabad was not that Metropolis that it has become now. Earlier it was a city that had large open spaces, lots of nature, biodiversity, surrounding communities. And in fact, the home where I grew up in my early days was situated at the Banjara Hills. There were a million years old rocks, a lot of trees, streams, and birds. So much so that there were times when my mother and I would swing in the garden outside.” Adding further, she said, “There were times when I used to find cobras swindling nearby and I would suddenly look at them and shout. To which my mother would calm me down and say ‘let them go.’”

The actress even spoke about how she imbibed the emotions and that strong connection with the environment and nature from her school. “My school assemblies were not those usual ones. It consisted of talks and healthy conversations by the teachers on preserving the environment and how we as children could do our bit to conserve nature.” In the end, Dia concluded the video by praising the lockdown which has done wonders to nature, starting from the decrease in the air quality index to the clean rivers and streams flowing across the cities.
