Jogia describes himself as “spiritual,” having spent months as a Buddhist and has roots in Hinduism. Jogia maintains that he has “looked at all kinds of ways of being, because I’m curious about what it takes to be human.” He is a dual citizen of Canada and the United Kingdom. Jogia has a number of tattoos; one on his chest, leg, upper leg, shoulder, back, and his lower arm. Jogia co-founded the online PSA organization Straight But Not Narrow (SBNN) in 2011, with Heather Wilk and Andre Pochon in conjunction with the support of fellow actor, Josh Hutcherson.
