The 28-year-old star, however, says that it is more important to be fit than having a zero figure.

"There is so much hype around size zero. Media has a role to play in it. I believe in being fit and I don't like starving myself to look thin," the actress said.

Dia, who herself is a size zero, feels that it is difficult to maintain such figure in the long run.

"I feel that Indian men like slim girls but it is more important to be fit than to look thin. I remember when my first film Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein released many people told me that I looked chubby but they also tell me that I looked my best in that film," Dia said.

The actress said that despite her thin frame she likes to indulge herself with junk food once in a week.
