Former Miss Asia Pacific, Dia Mirza, married entrepreneur Vaibhav Rekhi in an intimate ceremony in February this year. Weeks after their wedding, Rekhi and Mirza announced in the first week of April that they were expecting their first child. The news led to a lot of social media backlash and the actor was trolled for getting pregnant before marriage. Read more on the outrage here.

Speaking on the controversy, Mirza later said on social media, "We discovered we were going to have a baby while we were planning our wedding. So this marriage is not the result of pregnancy. We didn’t announce the pregnancy until we knew its safe (medical reasons). This is the happiest news of my life. I’ve waited for many many years for this to happen. No way I would hide it for any reason other than medical."
