Back in 2001, Miss Asia Pacific International winner, Dia Mirza became the nation’s crush when she had made her Bollywood debut as eloquent and gullible, Reena Malhotra in Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein. And post the release of that film, where every guy was singing to their ladylove, Rehna Hai Rehna Hai Tere Dil Me Rehna Hai; every girl crooned to her beau, Zara Zara. Deewaanapan of Dia was to such a level that everyone had more than Dus Bahane for losing their hearts to her and all we could say for her, Tumsa Nahin Dekha! Former Miss Asia Pacific is a woman with a mission and with every step of her career, Dia has proved that she is much more than just ethereal beauty!

In February 2021, Dia Mirza had ruled the headlines as she walked down the aisle and embarked on her ‘happily ever after’ journey with a Mumbai-based businessman, Vaibhav Rekhi. A day after their marriage, Dia had delighted their fans with official wedding pictures and had captioned them as “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 #ThankYouPreeta #SunsetKeDiVaNe.”

Soon after the wedding, Dia Mirza resumed her professional commitments and more than a month after tying the knot, she squeezed out some time for a much-needed vacation with husband, Vaibhav Rekhi. Dia and Vaibhav headed to the Maldives to spend some quality time together and on their vacation, she turned muse for her husband. The ever-so-gorgeous, Dia paired her green bikini set with a handcrafted white shrug which has green and blue work on it. While Dia was in a mood to pose, Vaibhav captured every beautiful moment of his wife and the results were indeed breathtaking!

Dia Mirza and Vaibhav Rekhi had tied the knot at the garden of her home, where she’s been staying for the past 19 years. Revealing details about her eco-friendly wedding, Dia had written, “The garden where I have spent every morning for the past 19 years was an absolutely magical setting and the most intimate and perfect space for our simple and soulful ceremony! We are so proud to have been able to organise a completely sustainable ceremony without plastics or any waste. The materials used for the minimal decor we went for were completely biodegradable and natural."

It was Dia Mirza and Vaibhav Rekhi’s decision to officiate their wedding by a female priest that had won millions of hearts. Elaborating on the same, Dia had continued, “The highest point for us was the Vedic ceremony conducted by a woman priest! I had never seen a woman performing a wedding ceremony until I attended my childhood friend Ananya’s wedding a few years ago. Ananya’s wedding gift to Vaibhav and me was to bring Sheela Atta who is her aunt and also a priestess, to perform the ceremony for us. She also painstakingly went through several hours of training to imbibe the essence of the scriptures so that she could assist Sheela Atta and translate the shlokas! It was such a privilege and a joy to be married this way! We do hope with all our heart that many more couples make this choice.”
Setting another trend and bashing the stereotypes, Dia Mirza had said no to rituals like kanyadaan and vidaai. Giving a perfect reason for her decision, Dia had concluded, “For it is a woman's soul that contains love, wonder, benediction, magical energy, tenderness and deep empathy for all that lives. It is time for women to own their own agency, their divinity, their power and to redefine what is old and birth what is new. As Charles Bukowski said, "there is no lie in their fire." So what can be more uplifting and empowering than to see the sacred fire within a woman's heart and soul taking centre stage at a wedding? I am still overwhelmed by the magic of this one moment. Also, we said NO to ‘Kanyadaan’ and ‘Bidaai’ change begins with choice doesn’t it? #GenerationEquality #SunsetkeDiVaNe #ThankYouPreeta Images by @khamkhaphotoartist @sardarsinghvirk.” (Also Read: Anil Kapoor Surprises His Wife, Sunita Kapoor With A Gift Worth Rs 1 Crore On Her Birthday [Picture])
