Bipasha Basu breaks down as she opens up about her 3-month old daughter undergoing open heart surgery

Bipasha Basu and Karan Singh Grover were enthralled to announce the arrival of their first child, a baby girl, whom they named Devi. However, in a recent interaction with actress-host Neha Dhupia, Bipasha revealed that their situation was quite different from other parents because their daughter was born with two holes in their heart. The actress went on to share about the way they battled the life-threatening ailment, and she ended up breaking down while talking about her struggles.

In a video posted by Bipasha Basu of her interaction with Neha Dhupia, she had opened up about her daughter Devi being diagnosed with VSD (Ventricular Septal Defect), three days after she was born. “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...,” revealed Basu.

She went on to add, “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.”

Further speaking about the decision of going ahead with the surgery, Bipasha got emotional. Wiping her tears, the actress continued, “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."
