Dia Mirza's Son Avyaan: A Miracle Against All Odds!
Tue June 03rd, 2025
Mumbai, India: In a candid and emotional revelation, actress Dia Mirza has opened up about the harrowing early days of her son Avyaan Azaad Rekhi's life, sharing the terrifying ordeal he faced with a hole in his intestine and subsequent life-saving surgery. The heartbreaking detail that she "couldn't hold him until he weighed 2.5 kg" sheds light on the immense challenges the family endured during this critical period.
Dia Mirza and her husband Vaibhav Rekhi welcomed Avyaan prematurely in May 2021. However, what followed was a desperate fight for survival for their newborn.
A Life-Threatening Pregnancy and Premature Birth
Dia revealed that her pregnancy itself was fraught with complications. At 39, she developed an acute bacterial infection, potentially a side effect of an appendix surgery she underwent during her fifth month of pregnancy. By the sixth month, her placenta began hemorrhaging, and her body went into sepsis – a life-threatening condition for both mother and child.
"If the baby wasn't delivered, neither of us could be saved. It was quite scary," Dia recounted in a recent interview. Avyaan was born weighing a mere 810 grams and was immediately rushed to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).
The Shocking Diagnosis: A Hole in the Intestine
Just 36 hours after his birth, baby Avyaan was diagnosed with necrotising enterocolitis – a severe condition where a hole develops in the intestine. This necessitated immediate and life-saving surgery.
"My son had a hole in his intestine and he went through surgery. They put a stoma on him — they basically pulled the intestine out of the body, and it was an exposed stoma," Dia shared, detailing the incredibly difficult reality they faced.
The Agonizing Wait: "I Couldn't Hold Him"
For a mother, the inability to hold her newborn is an unimaginable pain. Dia Mirza experienced this firsthand. Due to his fragile condition and the exposed stoma, she was only allowed to visit Avyaan twice a week in the NICU.
"I could not hold him until he weighed 2.5 kg," she revealed, highlighting the agonizing wait and the emotional toll it took. Even after he was eventually brought home for a brief period, the challenges continued. Nurses were hesitant to manage his dressing due to the "terrifying visual" of the exposed stoma, leaving Dia to handle his medical care herself.
Two Surgeries and a Miraculous Recovery
After gaining strength and weight, Avyaan underwent a second major surgery, lasting 3-4 hours, to correct the stoma. The doctors had prepared Dia and Vaibhav for the worst, but Avyaan, a true fighter, defied the odds.
Dia has consistently expressed immense gratitude to the doctors and nurses who tirelessly cared for Avyaan. His journey from being a critically ill premature baby to a happy, playful child is a testament to his resilience and the unwavering love and care he received.
A Story of Hope and Gratitude
Dia Mirza's brave sharing of Avyaan's health journey serves as a powerful source of hope and awareness for other parents facing similar challenges. Her honesty about the fear, the helplessness, and ultimately, the triumph, resonates deeply. It underscores the incredible advancements in neonatal care and the strength of the human spirit.
Today, Avyaan Azaad Rekhi is a healthy and thriving child, a true "miracle" as his mother fondly calls him. Dia Mirza's story is a poignant reminder of the preciousness of life and the indomitable power of parental love.
