Actor Dia Mirza and her husband, businessman Vaibhav Rekhi, have welcomed their first child.
She announced the news on Twitter on Wednesday, two months after the baby’s birth, along with a
picture of his hand. They revealed in a note that
they have named him Avyaan Azaad Rekhi.
In the note shared on her social media accounts, Dia Mirza revealed that her and Vaibhav Rekhi’s
son Avyaan was born prematurely, on May 14.
“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 14. Having arrived early, our little miracle has since then been cared for by tireless nurses and
doctors in the Neonatal ICU,” she 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,” she added.
