EXCLUSIVE: Dia Mirza opens up about the issues she faced with her pregnancy and post-delivery; says, “Within 36 hours of birth the baby had to go through surgery”
Model turned actress and producer turned environmental activist Dia Mirza has always been one personality in the industry who the audience have loved. Be it for her roles in films like Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein, Parineeta, or for that matter even her small part in Thappad, Dia has always been showered with warmth. Well, the actress who is currently in the best phase of her life was recently in conversation with Bollywood Hungama, talking about her pregnancy, delivery and post-delivery ordeal. During the said conversation, Dia Mirza opened up about the issues she faced with her first child and how the entire experience has changed her.
Speaking about her pregnancy, Dia Mirza expressed how difficult it was narrating the various issues she had. “It was really hard, because I got sick, and there was appendix surgery that had to be done while I was in the fifth month of my pregnancy; I think that must have led to some kind of bacterial infection that spread. My placenta was haemorrhaging and the doctor said, ‘I have to pull your baby out’, otherwise I would have gone into sepsis and it would have been life threatening for both of us. And within 36 hours of birth the baby had to go through surgery, and then three and a half months after he was born he had to go through a second surgery, and he was in the NICU right through that time. I was not allowed to hold him, until two and half months had passed after he was born. So imagine being a new mother and not being able to hold your child, because he was so tiny and so fragile and it was covid times, so there were all kinds of other conditions and regulations that I had to follow. I was allowed to see my baby only twice a week, so it was very hard. However, through it all, I always believed that he would not leave me, and he would fight and survive and it is amazing.”
For the uninitiated, on April 1, 2021, Dia Mirza announced that she is expecting her first child. Later on July 14, the actress announced that she had a premature birth due to health issues resulting in Avyaan Azaad Rekhi being kept in the NICU for 2 months. Currently, Dia Mirza is focussing on enjoying her role as a mother and doting on her son, Dia seems to be in no hurry to return to the big screen.
