Dia Mirza dismissed the scrutiny about her pregnancy and second marriage, saying that "we are in a dark age" when it comes to women's rights. She referenced recent events in the US, where the debate about abortion laws has been going on for decades, and said that many hold "regressive views" about premarital sex and pregnancy.
Dia tied the knot with businessman Vaibhav Rekhi in February 2021 and announced her pregnancy in April. In a new interview with The Times of India, she said that even though many people are critical of premarital sex and premarital pregnancy, "there are a lot of people who recognize the fact that it's a personal choice." She lamented that people are not as progressive as they might imagine themselves to be.
Talking about women's rights, she said, "Look at the crimes against women," and commented on recent incidents in the US, where "women can't have abortions if they want to." He expressed relief that "at least in India," the law protects women and their rights.
After announcing her pregnancy, Diya had responded to an Instagram user who questioned the timing of her marriage with regards to her pregnancy, and asked if she had completed her pregnancy before tying the knot with Vaibhav. Why not disclosed She replied, "Interesting question. At first, we didn't get married because we were having a child together. We were already married because we wanted to spend our lives together. We found out when we We were planning our wedding so we were going to have a baby. So this marriage is not a result of pregnancy. We didn't announce the pregnancy until we got to know its safe (medical reasons). This is my life The happiest news of all. I have waited for many years for this to happen. In no way will I hide this for any reason other than medical."
