Dia Mirza is a mommy now! The actress who got married to businessman Vaibhav Rekhi earlier this year announced birth of her baby boy on Instagram on Wednesday morning two months after her delivery. Sharing the first glimpse of her baby boy she confirmed that her son was born prematurely on May 14 and hence the lil one was kept in ICU under doctor's supervision. Dia also revealed her baby's name in the post as Avyaan Azaad Rekhi.


She wrote a long caption along with the post explaining her baby’s emergency birth that reads as:


To paraphrase Elizabeth Stone, "To have a child is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.” These words perfectly exemplify Vaibhav & my feelings right now. Our heartbeat, our son Avyaan Azaad Rekhi was born on May 14th. Having arrived early, our little miracle has since then been cared for by tireless nurses and doctors in the Neonatal ICU.


She further added that her baby was born via emergency C-section and wrote: A sudden appendectomy during my pregnancy and a subsequent and very severe bacterial infection could have led to sepsis and proven to be life threatening. Thankfully, the timely care and intervention by our doctor ensured the safe birth of our baby via an emergency C-section.


Dia concluded the post by saying that her baby boy will be home soon and the family is eagerly waiting to meet the lil one, she continued her post as : As we watch this tiny being, this Zen master in awe and wonder, we learn from him, in all humility, the true meaning of trusting the universe and of parenthood. And to not be afraid, and so we humbly take the lead from his resilience and courage. We do not have enough words to thank all those who continue to help us live this story of hope and faith and create a safe, healing, nurturing space for Avyaan and I. He will be home soon and his elder sister Samaira and grand parents are waiting to hold him in their arms. To our well-wishers and fans, I just want to say - your concern has always meant a lot to me and if it was possible to share this news before, we would have. Thank you all for all the love, light, faith and prayers. We extend them back to everyone who is struggling to hold on to hope right now or is praying for a loved one.


We see you, we hear you and together, we will get past this time ~Dia & Vaibhav



Our heartiest congratulations to Dia and Vaibhav on the arrival of their lil bundle of joy!
