Dia Mirza’s Kanjoos Confession at Kala Ghoda Arts Festival!

Dia Mirza would like love for her detractors to go green with envy. Literally, when it comes to upping her love for greens. For, this actress does not give people birthday gifts, not even to those closest to her, the actor confessed at the Kala Ghoda Arts Festival talk today! Instead, Dia actually plants a tree in their name! “There was a year I remember planting 1800 trees!


It has actually simplified my life,” smiles Dia. “If anybody’s birthday or anniversary comes along, I don't have to rack my head about what gift to get them. I will simply grow a grove of 11 trees in your name and send you a certificate to commemorate the special occasion. The best thing is that you can go and visit the site. You can see it see images of who planted your trees and watch them grow, and maybe someday even go sit in the shade of those trees.”


In fact, Dia has seen people who receive the certificate cry as they are so touched that life forms have been introduced in their name, and will obviously be taken care of. “There must also be people who look at the certificates and say Oh, God! She's so un-innovative! She sends me the same gift every year,” grins Dia whose bank of gift trees has grown exponentially over the years. Kudos to this amazing woman!
