The actress went on to describe the unforgettable moment when Avyaan called her ‘maa’ for the first time. Although his first word was ‘tiger,’ Avyaan later uttered ‘mumma’ during a magical moment as Dia held him and showed him the butterflies visiting the flowers on their balcony. “Oh my god, I will never forget that day. He said mumma much later. I think it was a good three months after he started to say words. It was a beautiful moment because all the flowers had started to bloom in the balcony and there were lots of butterflies visiting the flowers, and he was in my arms,” she recalled.
