Dia Mirza gave a candid insight into her home life, her two children, 17-year-old daughter Samaira and 5-year-old son Avyaan, and spoke about the unique dynamic of their blended family. The actress spoke thoughtfully about her relationship with each of them, admitting that her parents look very different at every age.
Dia Mirza in his “child-led” approach to parenting
In an interview with Screen, Dia said, “The dynamic is very different with Samaira and Avyaan. I have always approached parenting with a simple principle: child-led. As a parent it is very important that your children feel loved, safe and not judged. With Samaira, it’s very different, because she’s 17 years old and she’s going through a rollercoaster of changes. It’s very challenging.”He further added, “Sometimes it brings out the worst in me, and makes me realize how I can be better. It also makes you very vulnerable. With the younger one, she has such a distinct personality. They are so different, yet so alike. It’s so interesting to see their dynamic, their love and their truly incredible bond. Samaira turns 7 with Avyaana.”

The ‘RHTDM’ actor spoke calmly about how his family has found its rhythm, saying: “Honestly, I don’t think about it at all because I think every family is unique and every family’s emotional landscape is different. In our case, we’re learning and navigating every day, trying to do our best. That’s enough kids, and that’s very important. The four of us, and nothing in the world can shake it.“
