Bollywood actress Dia Mirza has been an avid supporter of NDTV's 'Save Our Tigers' campaign.

On the occasion of World Tiger Day on Monday, Dia insisted the founding editor of Sanctuary Asia magazine, Bittu Sahgal, to give her a bigger role in saving the tigers.

"It was a few years ago when Aircel launched the campaign 'Save our Tigers' on NDTV that I became familiar with the work of people like Bittu Sahgal. What was a childhood passion, kind of resurfaced and I plagued Bittu Sahgal to give me a bigger role and make me more involved with the work that needs to be done," the actress said.

Dia further added, "Now I do school visits and forest visits with 'Kids For Tigers'...there is a lot of work happening now in creating communication tools to spread this message further -- to take it not just to school children, but also to industries, corporates, media and help people understand that it's not just about saving the tiger, but tiger is a metaphor for saving all life,"
