DiaMirza won millions of hearts with her debut movie Rehna Hain Tere Dil Mein. The actress over the years have managed to make a name for herself not only with her acting chops but with her consistent efforts towards a number of social causes. Whilst supporting a number of campaigns for working towards the environment and climate change issues, the actress was also named UN Environment Goodwill Ambassador in 2017.
Diaalso supports conservation of wildlife, child welfare and healthcare amongst other social causes. The former Miss Asia Pacific also closely supports campaigns related to the Swachch Bharat Abhyan and is the brand ambassador for the Wildlife Trust of India.
As the actress turns a year older today, we take a look as all that she does as an iron woman fighting for several causes.

Dia MirzaAir pollution is the silent killer, causing 7 million premature deaths every year. Globally, an estimated 40 % of waste is openly burned. To #BeatAirPollution with @unenvironment for #WorldEnvironmentDay, I’m committed to composting waste. What will you do? @aliaabhatt @vickykaushal09 @arjunkapoor @dianapenty @merainna @jacquelinef143 Image credit @abheetgidwani

Dia Mirza“Everything you use and throw, think of where it is coming from and where it’s going to go.” Every time i see the waste we create dumped in our fields, forests, rivers, oceans, being burnt and polluting our air, I think to myself - how incredibly stupid we are. We do the math to reach the Moon and Mars, but we never did the math to determine how much WASTE all that packaging we were consuming would create!!! Where did we think it was going to go? It is now in our food chain, in our air, in our blood stream... Want to do something about it? Demand that all companies implement Extended Producer Responsibility - EPR, refuse all unnecessary packaging, say NO to single use plastics, implement waste segregation and recycling systems at home and the workplace! #BeatPlasticPollution #SolveDifferent

Dia Mirza#Repost @undpinindia with @get_repost ・・・ #DYK there may only be 4000 #snowleopards left in the world? #India is 1 of 12 countries lucky enough to be home to this elusive #BigCat. The snow leopard habitat in India provides vital freshwater for more than 1.3 billion people - roughly one fifth of the world’s population! Being at the apex of its food chain, the snow leopard is considered as a keystone species in the high-altitude Himalaya. It’s health or relative well-being indicates the heath of the Himalayan ecosystem. If snow leopards thrive, so will countless other species. Big cats like snow leopards are an important part of India’s culture and heritage. Wildlife conservation helps create jobs and is central to communities living with nature, and therefore to sustainable development. To ensure the protection of the snow leopard and its fragile habitat, @undpinindia is partnering with the Government of India, and the states of #JammuKashmir, #HimachalPradesh, #Uttarakhand and #Sikkim for a new initiative SECURE Himalaya, which will adopt a landscape-based approach and engage a diverse range of stakeholders including the local communities, policy makers and civil society. #WildForLife #InternationalDayOfSnowLeopard

Dia MirzaOne snow leopard is killed every day. Today only 4,000-7,500 individuals remain. To make sure they will #runwild in the future, join me and race against a real wild snow leopard! The campaign kicks off on 23 October. #VanishingTreasures #WildforLife Link in Bio 👆🏼

Dia MirzaLet’s stand united against all who attempt to blur the lines around sexual consent, place blame on victims, and excuse perpetrators. During #16Days of Activism, join @unwomen in saying it loud and clear: NO MEANS NO. @aminajmohammed @antonioguterres #orangetheworld #GenerationEquality
