Actor Dia Mirza says art always suffers at the hands of fear but the same factor also ignites it.

The actor will be next seen in the Kashmir-set webseries "Kaafir", which chronicles the journey of a mother, a young Pakistani woman, who is being held prisoner after crossing over to India under mysterious circumstances.

When asked how does she view the current times when there is an 'us versus them' divide and Pakistani actors are banned, Dia told reporters, "Art always suffers at the hands of fear. But also, art is always ignited and refuelled because of fear."
