After four years of marriage, Dia Mirza and her long-term boyfriend-turned-husband Sahil Sangha called it quits last year. Taking to Instagram to share the news with fans, the actress had written, “After 11 years of sharing our lives and being together, we have mutually decided to separate. We remain friends and will continue to be there for each other with love and respect. While our journeys may lead us down different paths, we are forever grateful for the bond that we share with each other.” Now it has been known that Dia has found herself in love once again.
According to a report in a leading daily, Dia has been seeing businessman and investor Vaibhav Rekhi. If the grapevine is correct, the two supposedly bonded during the lockdown and have been spending all their time together. In fact, Dia is reportedly living with Rekhi at his new, swanky Pali Hill residence.

Like Dia, Vaibhav too was married before, to a well-known yoga instructor, Sunaina Rekhi. The two have a daughter together. A report in Mumbai Mirror alleges that both the families know about their relationship, however, the two are yet to acknowledge it in front of the world.

For those who follow Dia, you’d know the star was recently spotted out for a walk at Mahalaxmi racecourse. They were accompanied by Vaibhav’s daughter.
If you recall, soon after the news of Dia’s separation from Sahil, he was linked with Judgementall Hai Kya writer Kanika Dhillon, who had coincidently announced the end of her marriage with the film’s director Prakash Kovelamudi around the same time. Responding to the same, Dhillon had tweeted, “Laughable, despicable, irresponsible! Fiction writing is my job! Can tabloids be a little more responsible please? Just because 2 news items come at the same time, they can’t be interlinked! It’s not a potpourri! Have NEVER met Dia/Sahil in my ENTIRE life! Please get over it and let us get back to work!”

In a series of tweets, Dia stood up for Sahil and backed Dhillon. She lashed out at the media for their ‘irresponsible’ reportage and set the record straight. “This is to clarify and put to rest all kinds of speculation that is being bandied about by a certain section of the media regarding my separation with Sahil. It is most unfortunate to see the level of irresponsibility exercised. What is even more unfortunate is that our colleagues’ names are being tarnished and maligned by this media. As a woman I will not stand for another woman’s name being used so irresponsibly to perpetuate a lie,” she wrote.

“There is absolutely no truth to the alleged reports and no third person is the reason for Sahil and I to part ways. We have requested the media to be graceful and allow us this time for some privacy. Really hope they can respect that,” she added.

Well, if news about Dia’s newfound love is true, we congratulate her and wish her a happy ever after!
