‘Have No Expectations’: Dia Mirza Reveals Step Daughter Doesn’t Her Mom

Dia Mirza, a renowned Bollywood actress, recently shared insights into her personal life, revealing her unique relationship with her stepdaughter, Samaira.

Dia Mirza’s life took a beautiful turn when she married businessman Vaibhav Rekhi in an intimate wedding ceremony. This union brought Vaibhav and his daughter from a previous marriage, Samaira, into Dia’s life. As Dia embraced her new role as a wife, she also stepped into the role of a stepmother to Samaira.

A Unique Bond

Dia has maintained a close bond with Samaira since her marriage to Vaibhav. Interestingly, Samaira does not refer to Dia as ‘maa’ or ‘Mumma’ but addresses her by her first name. In an exclusive interview, Dia revealed that she does not expect Samaira to call her ‘maa’ or ‘mumma’ and is content with being called by her first name.

Dia shared a lighthearted anecdote about how her son Avyaan occasionally follows Samaira’s lead and calls her ‘Dia Mom.’ She said,

“Thanks to her now Avyaan also calls me ‘Dia’ once in a while. He says ‘Dia mom,’ it’s too funny.”

The First ‘Mumma’

Dia also described the unforgettable moment when Avyaan called her ‘maa’ for the first time. Although his first word was ‘tiger,’ Avyaan later uttered ‘mumma’ during a magical moment as Dia held him and showed him the butterflies visiting the flowers on their balcony.

“Oh my god, I will never forget that day. He said mumma much later. I think it was a good three months after he started to say words. It was a beautiful moment because all the flowers had started to bloom on the balcony and there were lots of butterflies visiting the flowers, and he was in my arms. He suddenly looked at me and said, ‘Mumma’, I was like ‘Oh my god! What just happened.’ Interestingly, my husband had his camera and he was recording me showing Avyaan the butterflies so we have the whole moment on camera. It was magical.”
