‘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.
