New Delhi: Bollywood actress Dia Mirza got married to businessman Vaibhav Rekhi on February 15, 2021. The actress tied the knot for the second time as she was earlier married to another businessman Sahil Sangha. Dia and Sahil got separated in the year 2019 after 5 years of marriage.
Dia Mirza and Vaibhav Rekhi took the wedding vows in a private ceremony. The couple looked royal in their wedding attires as they promised to be each other’s forever. After their wedding, the couple posed for the paparazzi and the ‘Thappad’ actress also took to her social media to share some unseen moments from the wedding.
Recently, Dia shared a picture from the wedding ritual where the couple can be seen sitting beside a woman priest. She revealed the preparation details and how special the experience of this intimate marriage was for them. The ‘Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein’ actress penned down a long note which read, “The garden where I have spent every morning for the past 19 years was an absolutely magical setting and the most intimate and perfect space for our simple and soulful ceremony! We are so proud to have been able to organise a completely sustainable ceremony without plastics or any waste. The materials used for the minimal decor we went for were completely biodegradable and natural.”
Dia further revealed, “The highest point for us was the Vedic ceremony conducted by a woman priest! I had never seen a woman performing a wedding ceremony until I attended my childhood friend Ananya’s wedding a few years ago. Ananya’s wedding gift to Vaibhav and me was to bring Sheela Atta who is her aunt and also a priestess, to perform the ceremony for us. She also painstakingly went through several hours of training to imbibe the essence of the scriptures so that she could assist Sheela Atta and translate the shlokas! It was such a privilege and a joy to be married this way! We do hope with all our heart that many more couples make this choice. For it is a woman's soul that contains love, wonder, benediction, magical energy, tenderness and deep empathy for all that lives. It is time for women to own their own agency, their divinity, their power and to redefine what is old and birth what is new. As Charles Bukowski said, "there is no lie in their fire." So what can be more uplifting and empowering than to see the sacred fire within a woman's heart and soul taking centre stage at a wedding? I am still overwhelmed by the magic of this one moment.”
Dia Mirza also disclosed that there was no ‘Kanyadaan’ or ‘Bidaai’ in their wedding ceremony.
Meanwhile, Dia and Vaibhav were in a live-in relationship during the nationwide lockdown last year.
