‘She doesn’t own a Jaguar’
Chadha went on to challenge claims circulating online about Mirza’s lifestyle and environmental credibility, adding a personal note about their friendship.
“She gifted me 1100 trees as a wedding gift and and inspired me to gift trees to the Press in turn when my own baby girl was born. See photos? She doesn’t own a Jaguar LOL, I have only seen 2 electric cars ever. And if she was imperfect in the past, oh please forgive her dear kind lord, show mercy!”
She further defended Mirza’s activism, arguing that those working in environmental causes often face disproportionate criticism despite their efforts.
“Dia does more for ecological restoration in a day – than YT bloggers (who could well give Perez Hilton a run for his money) or arguably you – do in a whole year. Those who want to do good in the world, do so at a great personal cost. So please discourage them, troll them properly from that super comfy armchair. Call them hypocrites because the urgent work today, right now, is to shame them.”
