Bollywood actress Dia Mirza announced her pregnancy last week, one month after getting married to Vaibhav Rekhi.
The actress posed on the beaches of Maldives with a visible baby bump as she detailed on the 'new chapter' of her life.
Dia's announcement however sparked frenzy amongst fans who speculated that the actress married husband because she got pregnant.
One Instagram user then went on to ask Dia about her pregnancy timing.
"That's so good, congrats. But the problem is, she tried to break the stereotypes with woman priest, why couldn't she announce her pregnancy before the marriage? Isn't becoming pregnant after marriage a stereotype we follow? Why can't women get pregnant before marriage?" the user wrote.
Replying to her follower, Dia Mirza said that she married husband Vaibhav out of sheer love and not because she got pregnant.
The actress went on to say that she has waited to become a mother for a very long time. She would never hide the good news.
“Interesting question. Firstly, we didn’t marry because we were having a baby together. We were already marrying as we wanted to spend our lives together. 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,” she wrote.
