Bipasha Basu breaks down as she reveals daughter Devi was born with two holes in heart

Bipasha Basu and Karan Singh Grover gave birth to their first child, Devi Basu Singh Grover in November of the previous year. The actress has since shared details of their parenting experience. Additionally, Bipasha now revealed that their daughter was born with two heartholes. Bipasha stated during an Instagram Live interview with the actress Neha Dhupia that Devi needed surgery when she was just three months old. 

The actress said, “Our journey has been very different from any normal mother-father, it has been a lot tougher than the smile that I have on my face right now. I would not wish this to happen to any mother. For a new mother, when you get to know that...I got to know on the third day of me having a baby that our baby is born with two holes in her heart. I thought I'll not share this, but I'm sharing this because I feel that there are a lot of mothers, who helped me in this journey, and it was very difficult to find those mothers... ”

She further added, “We didn't even understand what a VSD is. It is ventricular septal defect... We went through a crazy period. We didn't discuss this with our family, we both were in a little bit of a blur. We wanted to celebrate but we were a little numb, me and Karan. The first five months have been very difficult for us. But Devi has been fabulous from day one. We were told that every month, we have to do a scan to know if it's healing on its own. But the kind of large hole that she had, we were told that it was doubtful, you will have to go through surgery. And the surgery is best done, when the child is three-months-old.”

Bipasha then broke down in tears, and further said, "You feel so sad, so burdened and so conflicted, because how can you put a child in open heart surgery? Something natural will happen, and people like us who are believers, we try to manifest it with our thoughts that it will start healing on itself. In the first month, it didn't happen, in the second month, didn't happen. And I remember the third month, when we went for the scan, I pretty much did all the research, met surgeons, had been to hospitals, spoken to doctors, and I was kind of ready, Karan was not ready. I knew that she had to be okay and I knew that she will be okay. And she is okay now. But the tough decision was to get your child operated at the right place and at the right time."

On the sets of 'Alone' in the year 2015, Bipasha Basu and Karan Singh Grover met for the first time. On April 30, 2016, the couple wed in a celebrity-studded event. Devi Basu Singh Grover is the couple's first child together.
