Dia Mirza tied the knot with businessman Vaibhav Rekhi on Monday in an intimate ceremony. The wedding happened at the actress's residence and was attended by limited guests including celebs like Jackky Bhagnani and Aditi Rao Hydari. Dia Mirza looked just gorgeous in a red zari saree and gajra. Vaibhav complimented her really well in a white sherwani. Dia Mirza has now shared a long message about breaking the tradition for her wedding with a female pandit. She also revealed that it was a completely sustainable ceremony without plastics or any waste. Dia Mirza shared a picture from her vedic wedding ceremony and wrote, "The garden where I have spent every morning for the past 19 years was an absolutely magical setting and the most intimate and perfect space for our simple and soulful ceremony!"

"We are so proud to have been able to organise a completely sustainable ceremony without plastics or any waste. The materials used for the minimal decor we went for were completely biodegradable and natural. The highest point for us was the Vedic ceremony conducted by a woman priest! I had never seen a woman performing a wedding ceremony until I attended my childhood friend Ananya’s wedding a few years ago. Ananya’s wedding gift to Vaibhav and me was to bring Sheela Atta who is her aunt and also a priestess, to perform the ceremony for us. She also painstakingly went through several hours of training to imbibe the essence of the scriptures so that she could assist Sheela Atta and translate the shlokas! It was such a privilege and a joy to be married this way! We do hope with all our heart that many more couples make this choice. For it is a woman's soul that contains love, wonder, benediction, magical energy, tenderness and deep empathy for all that lives," she added.

She also revealed that he did not have any kanyadaan or bidaai ceremony. Dia wrote, "It is time for women to own their own agency, their divinity, their power and to redefine what is old and birth what is new. As Charles Bukowski said, "there is no lie in their fire." So what can be more uplifting and empowering than to see the sacred fire within a woman's heart and soul taking centre stage at a wedding? I am still overwhelmed by the magic of this one moment. Also, we said NO to ‘Kanyadaan’ and ‘Bidaai’ change begins with choice doesn’t it?"
