Bollywood actress Dia Mirza is caught in the middle of a storm after narrating an incident involving her five-year-old son, Avyaan Azaad Rekhi. During her appearance on Soha Ali Khan's podcast, the actress revealed how her son schooled an adult delivery boy. While speaking about climate change and how she is strictly against the use of plastic bags, Dia shared an incident in which her son taught a delivery boy a lesson for bringing coconuts in plastic bags with plastic straws.
"The coconut wala delivered the coconut and nothing burns my blood more than coconut water arriving in plastic bags with plastic straws. So this boy, bichara, he didn’t know whom he was delivering. So Avyaan opened the door and he puts his hand on his hips and says, ‘Bhaiya plastic me lekar aaye hai, hamari ghar mein plastic not allowed, aap usko plastic se nikalo, usko neeche rakho aur plastic aur straw leke jao," Dia said on the podcast.
Soha Ali Khan then lauded the little one's conviction and said, "Imagine standing up to somebody who is an adult and to have that conviction."

Imagine talking so rudely and with such entitlement to someone who’s literally providing you a service in 40 degree centigrade😭
The entitlement is unreal - it blinds them to basic respect and decency.
If you don’t plastic just go to the thela and buy it yourself and carry it… pic.twitter.com/DUVpukfnAH— Meme Flix (@meme_flix) June 29, 2026
However, many listeners didn't agree with what Dia had to say. "Imagine talking so rudely and with such entitlement to someone who’s literally providing you a service in 40 degree centigrade. The entitlement is unreal - it blinds them to basic respect and decency. If you don’t plastic just go to the thela and buy it yourself and carry it in paper bags. And then the same people act all polished and “real” on camera… what a joke," wrote one user.
"A child scolds a poor coconut vendor, who sells door to door trying to make ends meet in scorching Indian summers, to “take back his plastic,” while adults celebrate it as “standing up to a grown-up.” Then the mother of the said child appears on camera, fully decked out in 20+ makeup products for that perfect dewy glow… Guess what those products are sold in? You guessed it right — plastic packaging! This is what insulated privilege looks like," wrote another user.
"Entitled Dia Mirza talking nonsense and another privileged female agreeing along. First teach your child some decent manners. The nariyal has to be brought in a bag. If you do not want the plastic bag, fine. No need to allow your kid to berate delivery person," commented one user.
Speaking of Dia Mirza, she will next be seen in Netflix film 'Ikka', alongside Sunny Deol and Akshaye Khanna.
On the personal front, she married businessman Vaibhav Rekhi in 2021 in an intimate wedding ceremony at her Bandra residence in Mumbai. They welcomed their son Avyaan the same year. She was earlier married to producer Sahil Sangha.
