Last year, Dia Mirza Rekhi surprised everyone with the announcements of her wedding to Vaibhav Rekhi and her subsequent pregnancy. Since then, we’ve seen snippets of her newly blended family, especially with her step daughter Samaira Rekhi. Today, the latter turns 13 and Dia shared a sweet note wishing her step-daughter.

Sharing a picture from their Maldives holiday of the young girl, Dia wrote, “Happy 13th Birthday precious girl! Thank you for opening your heart and home to me like only you could. You are so special Sam and I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life learning and growing with you. I love you. Keep spreading your love and light.”

Samaira often makes an appearance on Dia’s feed, like this instance where both Dia and she danced together in matching PJs on Instagram celebrating Daughter’s Day. When the couple travelled to Maldives for their honeymoon last year after their intimate at-home wedding, they also brought Samaira along.

During our iDiva cover shoot, Dia opened up about motherhood saying, “What motherhood has taught me is the invaluable power of love. I don’t think it’s possible to experience love like this for anything else in the world as you do for your child.” She also credited her own blended family on acceptance and the importance of family.
In an older interview with the Hindustan Times on the occasion of her first wedding anniversary, Dia said, “Time has flown by and this year has been one of the immense blessings and beautiful life lessons. The health complications Avyaan and I faced reminded me of how loved I am and how blessed to be surrounded by so many people who wish us well. I feel immensely lucky to not just have found love but also the friendship and trust of our daughter Samaira.”
What a beautiful family, do they not make?
