Dia Mirza, one of the finest actresses from B-town who made us all awestruck with her debut film Rehna Hain Tere Dil Main with Madhavan is undoubtedly cherishing her moment in the industry and also as a mother. The actress might not have done too many films, yet the ones she did definitely stole our hearts. Of late in an interview with ETimes, she opened up about her near-death experience when she was six months pregnant.

Dia Mirza, talking to ETimes, said, “I had to go in for an appendectomy in the fifth month of my pregnancy. I was in and out of hospital subsequently because of an acute bacterial infection that could have led to sepsis while I was in my sixth month of pregnancy. My baby had to be delivered because my placenta had started to haemorrhage. It was a tough time and I’m grateful for my gynaecologist who saved our lives.”

She further added on how hard it is to become a mother in the pandemic, saying, “To bring a child into a world in crisis has a profound impact on all our choices. I hope that someday soon we won’t have to wear masks and our children can have normalcy in their lives. Our daughter is studying online and that is a struggle. Our son is too young to know the difference. But while we stay home, we cherish the time we have together and do all we can to make this time engaging, happy and safe for our children.”
