Dia Mirza On its “child-led” parenting approach.
In an interview with Screen, Diya said, “The dynamic is completely different with Samira and Afeyan. I have always approached parenting with one simple principle – leading the child. It is very important as a parent that your children feel loved, safe and not judged.
As for Samira, things are completely different because she is 17 years old and going through volatile changes. “It’s very difficult.”She also added, “Sometimes, it brings out the worst side of me and makes me realize how I can be better. It also makes you so vulnerable. With the younger one, he has such a distinct personality. They’re so different but so similar. It’s interesting to see their dynamic, their love and their really amazing bond.”
Samira is seven years old when she is with Afyaan.”

The “RHTDM” actress spoke with quiet confidence about how her family has found its own rhythm, saying, “Honestly, I don’t think about it at all, because I think every family is unique and the emotional landscape of every family is different. In our case, we’re learning and moving every day, trying to do our best. That’s enough, that’s all that really matters. The kids understand that there’s a basic unity and that’s the four of us, and nothing in the world can shake that.”
