Dia Mirza is facing a backlash on social media after she revealed how her 5-year-old son Avyaan Azaad Rekhi once taught the older child to give birth. The discussion touched on climate change and Dia’s strong opposition to the use of plastic. He narrated the incident where his son met the delivery boy by handing coconuts in plastic bags with plastic straws.

Get started Soha Ali Khan‘s podcast, Dia said, “Coconut wala gave a coconut and nothing burns my blood more than coconut water that comes in plastic bags with plastic straws. So this boy, bichara, didn’t know who he was giving it to. So Avyaan opened the door and put his hand on his hip and said, ‘Bhaiya plastic me lekar sekar, plastic, plastic, ine lekar, bichara, he doesn’t know who he is giving it to. neeche rakho aur plastic aur straw leke jao (Why do you have this in plastic? Plastic is not allowed in our house, put it in and remove the plastic).“

Soha praised Avyaan’s strong faith, replying, “Imagine standing up to a great man and having that faith.”
Dia Mirza called for “freedom”
While Soha appreciated Avyaan’s behavior, several viewers did not agree with the child’s behavior or with Dia’s support. A video of the podcast recently went viral on the Internet. Another user called Dia ‘proper’, saying, “Imagine talking rudely and with such privilege to someone who is offering you a job in 40 degrees centigrade. This freedom is not real – it blinds them to dignity and respect. If you don’t have plastic, just go to the thela and buy it yourself and carry it in bags. And then the same people do everything polished and “real” on camera… what a joke.”
Dia Mirza accused of ‘protected privilege’
Another viewer suggested that Dia herself probably uses plastic-coated makeup, but she doesn’t comment. Calling it a ‘blocked opportunity’, the user said, “A child scolds a poor coconut seller, who sells door-to-door to earn money in the hot Indian summer, to “get his plastic,” while the adults celebrate “standing up for the big man.” ” Then the mother of the said child appears on camera, fully decked out in 20+ make-up to look her best…“Another user said, “Head Dia Mirza is talking nonsense and one lucky lady is agreeing. First, teach your child good manners. Nariyal should be brought in a bag. If you don’t want a plastic bag, fine. There is no reason to allow your child to criticize the person who gave birth.” Several other comments echo similar sentiments.
