Dia Mirza tied the knot with Vaibhav Rekhi in a dreamy wedding. The actress broke many stereotypes by refusing to have the involvement of Kanyadaan ceremony. Also, in her marriage, there was a priestess instead of a priest in most weddings. Only recently, Dia revealed on social media that she is carrying her first child with Vaibhav. Many congratulatory messages poured in. However, there were some people who raised quite a few questions. Dia has given a befitting reply when questioned about the timing of the announcement of her pregnancy.
Dia Mirza Reveals Reason to Fan who Questioned the Timing of her Pregnancy Announcement
A fan wrote in her post’s comment section, ‘That’s so good, congrats. But the problem is, she tried to break the stereotypes with woman priest, why couldn’t she announce her pregnancy before the marriage? Isn’t becoming pregnant after marriage a stereotype we follow? Why can’t women get pregnant before marriage?’
Replying to the Instagram user, Dia took to the comment section and wrote, ‘Interesting question. Firstly, we didn’t marry because we were having a baby together. We were already marrying as we wanted to spend our lives together. We discovered we were going to have a baby while we were planning our wedding. So this marriage is not the result of pregnancy. We didn’t announce the pregnancy until we knew its safe (medical reasons). This is the happiest news of my life. I’ve waited for many many years for this to happen. No way I would hide it for any reason other than medical.’
Elaborating further, she added, ‘Only answering this because 1) Having a child is a beautiful gift of life 2) There must never be any shame attached to this beautiful journey 3) As women we must always exercise our choice 4) Whether we choose to be single and parent a child or be in a marriage it is after all our choice 5) As a society we must un stereotype our idea of what is right or wrong, instead of training ourselves to ask what is fair or unfair.’
