Dia is one of the most beautiful actresses that Bollywood has ever had, and anyone can fall in love with her innocent charm. Sahil Sangha said in one interview:
“What I love the most about her is that in one word, she is pure. She is very giving and all heart, which is also a problem as then you need to take care of your heart. She lights up a room as soon as she walks in.”
The two first met when Sahil went to Dia’s house for narrating the script of a film. Although they knew each other since 2009, but Sahil proposed Dia in 2014 when they were in New York to attend an award function. He went on his knees and presented the ring to her in the middle of the Brooklyn Bridge. Dia accepted this heart-warming proposal, and the couple was applauded with cheers by all tourists present there.
