Post the event, Dia gave a clarification on what made her emotional. She was sad due to the death of basketball player Kobe Byrant. ANI quoted her saying, “His chopper crashing in California disturbed me. It really upset me. There are different things that upset us on different days, but we take care of ourselves. I was overwhelmed because my blood pressure was low.”
