Written by Niharika Nayak, BA (Media & Communication)  • 

Dia Mirza welcomed a little boy with her husband, Vaibhav Rekhi, on May 14th, 2021. The pair got married in February, earlier this year. Dia and Vaibhav named their little one Avyaan Azaad Rekhi. Since Avyaan was born prematurely, Dia chose to keep this news private and only released an image of him two months (July 14th) after he was born. The Thappad actress shared a photo of her holding her baby boy’s hand on her Instagram page and detailed the complications around his birth. Here is what Dia had to say:

“Her Heartbeat”

It’s no lie that motherhood is one of the most life-changing experiences someone can go through, and Dia attests to it. She shared details about her first moments as a mother and quoted a famous journalist, Elizabeth Stone. Dia wrote, “To have a child is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body”. Dia spoke about how her son was born prematurely and hence was being cared for by doctors and nurses in the Neonatal ICU.

Dia also spoke about how she had to have an emergency appendectomy during her pregnancy and added that she suffered a severe bacterial infection after. Thankfully, doctors were able to deliver her son via an emergency C-section safely. She wrote about how she is learning a lot from her son and that he taught her about humility, resilience, and courage. She also added that she couldn’t thank her loved ones enough for being there as a support system. Dia continued to say that she could not wait to take her son home so he could meet his paternal half-sister, Samaira, and his grandparents. She thanked people for their light, love, faith, and prayers and extended her support to those who are struggling and going through a lot themselves. Dia ended her note by writing, “We see you, we heard you, and together, we will get past this time.”

After she shared the news, plenty of Bollywood celebrities left kind words for the couple. Kareena Kapoor, who welcomed her second child, Jeh, wrote, “God bless you my darling and your little one. Stay safe and well”. Karisma Kapoor too congratulated the pair, and Malaika Arora, Masaba Gupta, and Riddhima Kapoor Sahni left hearts on her post. Bipasha Basu too left kind words for the couple and wished them loads of love. Anushka Sharma, who had her first child very recently shared her love for the little one as well.

While Dia has been quite private about her personal life and how she met Vaibhav, plenty of other sources have revealed more details. According to them, Dia and Vaibhav met in 2020 and spent time getting to know each other during the lockdown. The pair were in a live-in during the lockdown, and after spending some quality time together, decided to take steps to get married. The couple had an intimate and super progressive wedding where the priestess was a woman. The wedding was eco-friendly as well, and all their close friends and family were in attendance.

Before she tied the knot with Vaibhav Rekhi, Dia was with Sahil Sangha, and the pair separated in 2019. On the other hand, Vaibhav was once married to a lifestyle and yoga coach named Sunaina Rekhi, and they share a daughter, Samaira Rekhi. Dia and Vaibhav’s wedding festivities were kicked off on February 13th, 2021 and attended by friends of Dia’s like costume designer and stylist Theia Tekchandaney, producer Marijke Desouza, actor Freishia Bomanbehram, filmmaker Ananya Rane and many more.
