Actor Dia Mirza gave birth to her son Avyaan Azaad in May 2021 and for the new mother, the months that followed were the toughest times. Dia said in a recent interview that the situation was “life-threatening” for both mother and child because her baby was born prematurely.
Dia Mirza said in a recent interview, “It was hard. I got sick, I had appendix surgery which had to be done while I was pregnant, in my fifth month. That must have led to some kind of bacterial infection spreading in the body. My placenta was hemorrhaging and the doctor said I have to pull my baby out otherwise I would have gone into sepsis. It was life-threatening for both of us; within 36 hours of birth, the baby had to undergo surgery.”
The actor also added that she couldn’t be with her son physically because Avyaan had to get another surgery shortly after that. “And then three and a half months after he was born, he had to go through a second surgery. He was in the NICU right through that time. I wasn’t even allowed to hold him till two and a half months had passed after he was born.”
Dia Mirza on second wave of Covid Pandemic
Dia Mirza also talked about how all this happened during the second wave of the covid pandemic because of which she had to follow a whole new set of rules and regulations that which made the process even harder for her.
“He was so tiny and so fragile and it was Covid times so there were all kinds of other conditions and regulations I had to follow. I was allowed to see my baby only twice a week. So, it was very hard but through it all, I always believed that he would not leave me and he would fight and survive,” Diya said.
On the work front, Dia was last seen in Anubhav Sinha’s film Thappad. The film starred Taapsee Pannu in the lead role. The actor will next be seen in Dhak Dhak, directed by Tarun Dudeja. It will also star Ratna Pathak Shah, Fatima Sana Shaikh, and Sanjana Sanghi in important roles.
