As her little boy turned five on Thursday, actress and former beauty queen Dia Mirza penned an emotional message for her son Avyaan Azaad, whom she proudly referred to as her 'miracle child.'
A Heartfelt Tribute
Dia first shared a string of images of Avyaan from his baby days to his most recent pictures as he turned 5. She then went on to write a poem for her son, who was born premature and had to spend two months in the Neonatal ICU (NICU) before coming home.
'Happy 5th Birthday, our miracle child. Our warrior light... you were born free. May you always live free. Free to follow your own path. Free to laugh loudly, love deeply and dream wildly,' Dia wrote as the caption.
'Free to protect what is gentle, nurture what is growing, and build a life filled with wonder, courage and joy. You arrived in our lives and changed the meaning of hope forever. We love you beyond words, our sunshine,' she added.

Avyaan is the son of Dia and Vaibhav Rekhi. He was born in 2021. The actress married the businessman in 2022. She also has a step-daughter, Samaira Rekhi from Vaibhav's previous marriage.
