Dia Mirza cherishes a strong bond with her son Avyaan and stepdaughter Samaira. The esteemed actress recently provided insights into the dynamics of their relationship, particularly addressing the reason Samaira refrains from referring to her as mother.
Dia emphasized the absence of pressure on Samaira to address her as mother, acknowledging that Samaira has a mother she affectionately calls mumma or mom. Instead, Samaira addresses Dia by her given name.
Expounding on Samaira's influence, Dia expressed gratitude for her stepdaughter's presence as it has led to an adorable development: her son, Avyaan, occasionally slips and calls her Dia mom, which Dia finds particularly amusing.
On the occasion of Samaira's 15th birthday, Dia shared heartwarming images accompanied by a tender message, extending her heartfelt wishes and expressing the depth of her bond by stating, Happy 15th Birthday, baby girl. I carry your heart in my heart forever.
Reflecting on Avyaan's first endearing utterance of mumma, Dia shared an unforgettable memory. She vividly recalled the blossoming flowers on her balcony, the graceful butterflies fluttering around them, and Avyaan nestled in her arms.
As she pointed out the butterflies to her young son, an unexpected and poignant moment occurred. Avyaan turned his gaze toward her and uttered the precious word mumma.
With a touch of marvel, Dia revealed that her husband, Vaibhav Rekhi, had the foresight to capture this magical instant on camera, preserving the memory for posterity.
For context, Dia and Vaibhav tied the knot in 2021 and welcomed their son Avyaan in the same year. Samaira is Vaibhav's daughter from his previous marriage to Sunaina Rekhi.
Dia Mirza's most recent cinematic endeavor was the critically acclaimed Dhak Dhak, helmed by Tarun Dudeja and featuring an ensemble cast that included Sanjana Sanghi, Fatima Sana Shaikh, and the formidable Ratna Pathak Shah in pivotal roles.
