Dia Mirza: Our time in Himachal was nothing short of magical

Mumbai, Aug 28
Bollywood actress and former beauty queen Dia Mirza, who had a magical time in Himachal Pradesh, has reflected on the fragile beauty of the picturesque location, linking rising flash floods to climate change, poor planning, and unregulated tourism.

Dia took to Instagram, where she shared a reel video featuring her son Avyaan Azad Rekhi walking around the breath-taking locations along with his mother Dia and father Vaibhav Rekhi.

Dia captioned the post: “Our time in Himachal was nothing short of magical, surrounded by majestic mountains. Yet, our departure marked the beginning of the river's rise, leading to weeks of distress….”

The actress said that she hesitated to share happy moments, “feeling it was insensitive.”

“However, I now see that recalling the beauty might also remind us to act better. We’re capable of more When will we go back to respecting our ancient wisdom to live in harmony with nature? The growing incidence of flash floods results from #ClimateChange, biodiversity loss, poor urban planning, and unregulated tourism,” she wrote.

The actress added: When exploring fragile ecosystems: Opt for eco-friendly accommodations Avoid single-use plastics and carry your trash Support local communities Choose eco-friendly products crafted by women Respect the land and its inhabitants.

“Let’s work together the secure, protect and cherish our fragile Himalayan homeland. If you would like to help make a difference connect with the extraordinary work @healinghimalayas @pradeep_sangwan_ is doing in the region.
