The link led to a page that read: “Hello, I’m Dia Mirza. I’m an actor and producer by profession. An individual who participates and lends a voice to many causes out of choice.”

“The recent tragedy in Kashmir courtesy the floods however, leaves me with no choice but to react with a sense of urgency. I want to help as many lives as I can. I want to make sure that you do the same.”

The amount raised so far is Rs 1,31,051 and the goal is to raise Rs 5,00,000. The funds raised will go to CARE India, who will utilise the same to hand out survival kits to the affected families and individuals in Jammu and Kashmir.
