"Blessed to cradle this purest of all dreams"
Dia Mirza has announced that she is expecting her first child with husband Vaibhav Rekhi.
The pregnancy comes just over a month after the couple got married.
She took to Instagram and shared a picture of herself flaunting her baby bump.
The picture was taken in the Maldives, where Dia went for her honeymoon.
She was seen wearing a red floral print kaftan while cradling her baby bump. She also looked into the distance while a calming sunset was seen in the background.
Dia kept her look simple by ditching any accessories and makeup.
Alongside the photo was a heartwarming poem. It read:
“Blessed to be… one with Mother Earth… one with the life force that is the beginning of everything… of all stories.
“Lullabies. Songs. Of new saplings. And the blossoming of hope.
“Blessed to cradle this purest of all dreams in my womb.”
Following her pregnancy announcement, a wave of Bollywood celebrities sent messages of congratulations to the actress.
Anushka Sharma, who is also a new mother, dropped a heart emoji.
Priyanka Chopra commented: “Omg congratulations Dee!!”
Shilpa Shetty wrote: “Congratulations Dia Mirza, soooo happy for you.”
Gauahar Khan said: “Super news! Congratulations n blessings.”
Musician Vishal Dadlani posted: “Whaaaaattt!???
“Congratulations, Dia Mirza and Vaibhav! All the love in the world to all of you.”
Dia Mirza and Vaibhav Rekhi got married at her Mumbai home in February 2021 in what was an intimate ceremony.
Dia had shared pictures from her wedding alongside the caption:
“Love is a full-circle that we call home. And what a miracle it is to hear its knock, open the door and be found by it.
“Sharing this moment of completion and joy with you… my extended family.”
“May all puzzles find their missing pieces, may all hearts heal and may the miracle of love continue to unfold all around us.”
Dia was previously married to Sahil Sangha while Vaibhav has a daughter from a previous marriage.
Since the end of February 2021, Dia, Vaibhav and his daughter have been in the Maldives.
Dia had previously shared pictures and videos of them watching dolphins, and said that the joy they felt was beyond words.
She wrote: “Talk about saving the best for last!?!
“We spent over an hour with a few schools of dolphins… 20-30 of them at a time.
“Words are inadequate to express the joy of witnessing these beautiful creatures in the wild.
“The Indian Ocean was magic, our time here in her calm waters has been restful and restorative.”
