¡°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,¡± Lara was quoted as saying during the interview.
"You know you get very few moments in your life when you reach out and do something for someone and those are the moments that meet life," the former beauty queen-turned-actress further said and added, "And if I can¡¯t do that then I am not living and I don¡¯t want any of it because that¡¯s the most important thing for me."

Speaking of the same on Simi¡¯s chat show, Priyanka revealed that she used to call Lara ¡®mom¡¯. "I looked up to Lara quite a bit, because she¡¯d had so much experience. 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 (Lara) showed me the right makeup to use for my skin. Totally look up to her for that," former Miss World Priyanka Chopra had said.
