Bipasha Basu tears up as she reveals that daughter Devi was born with two holes in her heart

Bipasha Basu and Karan Singh Grover were blessed with their first child, a baby daughter Devi Basu Singh Grover on November 12 last year. Now, in a recent Instagram live session with Neha Dhupia, Bipasha has revealed that her daughter was born with two holes in her heart and she underwent an open heart surgery when she was three months old.

Talking to Neha Dhupia, Bipasha Basu 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 that Devi was diagnosed with VSD [Ventricular Septal Defect] and said, "We didn't even understand what a VSD is. It is a 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.”

About the surgery that Devi underwent, the new mom said, “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 with 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 finally said, "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.”

Bipasha Basu and Karan Singh Grover got married in 2016.
