Yesterday, she shared the news on social media and wrote, "Let's do our bit and help save our amazing wildlife (sic)." In 2010, Dia had adopted and named two leopard cubs, Ashoka and Nakshatra, from the Lucknow zoo after being requested by the authorities since their mother was named after her.
On the work front, Dia Mirza, revelling in the success of Sanju, says she wants to make a biopic on the life of eminent painter Amrita Sher-Gil. Dia interacted with the media on the sidelines of a 'Save The Children' campaign earlier this month.
After working in "Sanju" -- a film on the life of actor Sanjay Dutt -- who is the personality on whose life Dia would like to make a film on? "I am intrigued by lots of true life stories. I think in our country, there are lots of stories which can be converted into films. If I would have to do any biopic, then I would have made a biopic on Amrita Sher-Gil because she was an artist. She made her mark globally through her art but she passed away at a young age and she was also fond of children."
In "Sanju", Dia has played Maanyata Dutt, Sanjay's wife.
