New Delhi: Bipasha Basu revealed that her daughter Devi was born with a ventricular septal defect (VSD). On November 12, 2022, Bipasha Basu and Karan Singh Grover welcomed their first child. Bipasha broke down in tears when chatting with actor Neha Dhupia recently on Instagram Live as she stated that her daughter was born with two holes in her heart and had surgery when she was about three months old.
She talked about her parenthood path as being entirely different from any typical mother-father. "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,” the actor said.
During the conversation, Bipasha stated that they didn't even know what a VSD was. They had a crazy time, and they didn't even talk about it with their family.
"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,” she said.
"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," she added.
Devi is the first kid the couple had together. On the sets of the 2015 film 'Alone', Bipasha Basu and Karan Singh Grover became acquainted. The pair got married in a star-studded event on April 30, 2016.
