Lara on taking Priyanka, Dia ‘under her wing’
On an episode of Rendezvous with Simi Garewal, Lara had said about supporting Priyanka and Dia, and also helping them out with their make-up, "For me it was winning Miss India and Miss Universe, entire focus is there, but at the same time you don’t forget that you are human and achievements or failures, without trying to sound morbid, once you’re gone aren’t really going to matter.”

Dia was 18, and I was 17, and we were like these little babes. We used to call Lara ‘mom’. I wouldn’t know what to wear, or how my makeup was. And I remember one time she took me to the bathroom, and she showed me the right makeup to use for my skin. Totally look up to her for that.”
