Actor Dia Mirza has landed in the middle of a social media storm after sharing a story about her five-year-old son Avyaan Azaad Rekhi confronting a coconut delivery man over plastic use.
The incident came to light during a conversation on a podcast hosted by actress Soha Ali Khan, where Dia proudly recounted how her son reacted when coconut water arrived at their home in plastic packaging.
According to Dia, Avyaan opened the door and immediately challenged the delivery person over the plastic bag and straw.
"The coconut wala delivered the coconut and nothing burns my blood more than coconut water arriving in plastic bags with plastic straws," Dia said. She recalled her son standing with his hands on his hips and telling the delivery worker, "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."
Podcast host Soha Ali Khan appeared impressed by the youngster's confidence, saying, "Imagine standing up to somebody who is an adult and to have that conviction."
