‘Miracle, Magical': Dia Mirza Shares Wholesome Post On Son's Birthday
Dia Mirza is soaking in the joys of motherhood as she celebrates her son, Avyaan Azaad Rekhi's 4th birthday. Sharing a bundle of adorable photos on Instagram, the actress poured her heart out in a caption that left fans teary-eyed and smiling in equal measure. In an emotional caption, she wrote, 'Happy 4th Birthday our miracle, magical, musical, master. Thank you for choosing us. We love you forever and beyond. Mamma and Papa," alongside the touching tune A Thousand Years playing in the background.
Dia Mirza and Vaibhav Rekhi's love story began not on film sets or in the glare of paparazzi but during the 2020's lockdown. The two met and found comfort in each other during uncertain times, eventually deciding to marry in a simple, serene ceremony in early 2021. Their marriage symbolised new beginnings — both had been previously married and had parted ways from their past partners. Dia was earlier married to Sahil Sangha, while Vaibhav was married to wellness expert Sunaina Rekhi, with whom he shares a daughter, Samaira. Embracing this modern, blended family, Dia welcomed Samaira with open arms, making her an integral part of their new journey together. Dia and Vaibhav were blessed with a son, Avyaan, in May 2021.

Dia Mirza recalls sharing room with her hairdresser to ward off unwanted visitors: 'We have to find our ways to survive'
Dia Mirza who made her debut with 'Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein' paved a path for herself in the industry as an outsider with no support. In a recent interview, Dia has opened up on how she had to find her own ways to survive here and create a safety net for herself. She admitted that it was scary initially when she started out young but her team was her constant support through the years. When asked about surviving in the industry, without any backing, Dia said in an interview with Official People Of India, "I'll have to write a book about that someday. There's so much, there are so many layers to that question. But, if I have to be simple, it was hard and terrifying." She also spoke about saving herself from unwanted situations or attention sometimes and said, "My hairdresser used to share my room with me for many years to ward off unwanted visitors. It was really hard. I myself look back now and think I don't know how I managed.' The actress added, "A lot of the women in the industry have always had some parent around. Somebody's father or mother have always been a very active participant in their film career. I never had that. My team – hairdresser, makeup artist, and spotboy were my safety net. Which is why I never changed those technicians and that support group for years." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Esta nueva alarma con cámara es casi regalada en Colonia La Yerba (ver precio) Verisure Undo The actor continued, 'Prasad anna was my spotboy for all of the years that I worked until he passed away. I lost him during Covid. My hairdresser worked with me for 16-17 years straight, from my first film. That kind of created a safety net for me. We have to find out own ways to survive.' Dia also added that today when she looks back, she regrets some of her characters. "There are so many things that I have done as scenes or the kind of characters that I have played in my earlier films, without even realising how regressive some of that was or how I was being objectified, or how patriarchal the mindset was in the projection of the character. All of that only becomes something that you learn about and become aware of, therefore you can make better choices later.

Dia Mirza recalls ‘hard, terrifying' years of sharing room with her hairdresser to ward off unwanted midnight knocks on door: ‘Had to find a way to survive'
Dia Mirza, who started her film journey as a background dancer in a Tamil film, has had her own share of ups and downs as an outsider in the industry. After winning the title of Miss Asia Pacific International title in 2000, she marked her debut in Hindi cinema with Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein, alongside R. Madhavan. She has often shared losing several films because the opportunities were offered to others with industry backing. In a recent interview, Dia revealed that she had to share her room with her hairdresser to avoid unwanted knocks at night. The actor, whose parents got divorced when she was four and father passed away at nine, also spoke about how female actors in the industry had parents to support them, but she didn't. During a conversation with Official People Of India, Dia was asked about navigating her path as an outsider in the film industry. 'I'll have to write a book about that someday. There's so much, there are so many layers to that question. But, if I have to be simple, it was hard and terrifying,' she smiled and replied. She went on to reveal sharing her room for the longest time. 'My hairdresser used to share my room with me for many years to ward off unwanted visitors. It was really hard. I myself look back now and think I don't know how I managed.'
