Dia Mirza Instagram – Always seeking nature 💚 Repurpose, restore, recycle, manage waste… Are some ways to make a home better and safer 🌏 Thank you @bazaarindia @nandinibhalla for featuring my sanctuary! MY LIFE, MY STYLE [Part 1]: Actor Dia Mirza’s home in Mumbai is a sanctuary of sustainability. Excerpts from the feature: “‘Dia’s childhood was spent in Banjara Hills in Hyderabad, that presented her with an “incredible expanse of nature”… “I have vivid memories of sitting on the ground with my hands soiled, planting saplings with my mother…and the joy of watering plants, especially getting wet on a hot, sweltering day!” she smiles. Dia’s apartment in Mumbai abounds with oxygenating plants like money plants, mother-in-law’s tongues, and arrowheads. “I have almost 25 species of birds visiting my window every day,” Dia tells us. “I’ve had red-vented bulbuls, sparrows, coppersmith barbets, and sunbirds building nests in the windows and foliage… It’s magical to hear the bird song through the day;you feel transported from the big metropolis to a lush forest…”’ Digital Editor: Nandini Bhalla (@nandinibhalla) Feature Credit: Radhika Bhalla (@radhika_bhalla) Styling by: Theia Tekchandaney (@theiatekchandaney) Photographs by: Chandrahas Prabhu (@chandrahas_prabhu) Hair & Make-up: Shraddha Mishra ( @shraddhamishra8 ) Fashion Assistant: Ankana Awasthi (@ankana.awasthi) Publicity: The Studio Talk (@thetalkstudio) and Diksha Punjabi (@dikshapunjabi23) Wearing a kaftan by Sunira Designs @suniradesigns, jewellery by @silverstreakstore , and shoes by @aprajitatoorofficial India
