Dia Mirza on her difficult pregnancy & how son had to go through multiple surgeries shortly after birth

Actor Dia Mirza, who welcomed her son Avyaan Azaad in May 2021, opened up about how difficult her pregnancy journey was and recalled her delivery time. Her son was born pre-mature and the situation was ‘life threatening’ for both mother and the child.

In a recent interview with Bollywood Hungama, Dia shared that she had to undergo appendix surgery in the fifth month of her pregnancy which caused some infection in her body and led to further complications. She mentioned that her placenta was hemorrhaging and the doctor had to do an emergency C-Section else she would have gone into sepsis.

‘It was life-threatening for both of us and within 36 hours of birth, the baby had to go through surgery,’ she said.

Her child underwent a second surgery three and a half months after he was born.

'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,' she said.

She recalled that this happened during the second wave of the COVID pandemic. She was allowed to visit her baby only twice a week. She said this phase was very hard but she always believed that he would fight and survive.

'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, the actor added.

Dia Mirza is currently working on her upcoming project 'Dhak Dhak'. The film also stars Fatima Sana Shaikh, Ratna Pathak Shah, and Sanjana Sanghi in pivotal roles.
