In a heartwarming yet emotional conversation with Neha Dhupia on Instagram Live on August 5th, Bollywood power couple Bipasha Basu and Karan Singh Grover shared the heartbreaking story of their daughter’s medical journey. Their child was born with two holes in her heart, leading her to undergo surgery at just three months old.

During the conversation, Bipasha expressed, “Our journey has been very different from any normal mother and 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…”

The couple’s joy at becoming parents turned bittersweet when they discovered that their beloved baby girl had been born with not one, but two holes in her heart. This condition, known as a ventricular septal defect (VSD), was initially a puzzling concept for the couple. The challenges they faced were immense, and they decided not to share the news with their families, navigating the uncertain terrain together. The first five months of Devi’s life were fraught with difficulty, as Bipasha and Karan grappled with the emotional and practical aspects of their daughter’s condition.

During the conversation, Bipasha became visibly emotional and tearful. She shared, “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. The first five months have been very difficult for us. But Devi has been fabulous from day one.”

The surgery, lasting a tense six hours, left the couple in an agonizing state of suspense. Bipasha confessed that her world seemed to halt as her daughter underwent the intricate procedure. The actress struggled with anxiety, and a wave of relief washed over her only when the surgery concluded successfully.

Bipasha shared that their daughter’s recovery has been remarkable, showcasing Devi’s resilient spirit. She expressed gratitude for the support received from fellow mothers who had gone through similar journeys, highlighting how their shared experiences provided strength and comfort.

Bipasha’s decision to candidly recount their family’s ordeal was driven by a desire to offer hope, information, and solace to other mothers who might be facing similar challenges. Her honesty about the trials they overcame underscores the importance of sharing stories that go beyond the surface, ultimately creating a sense of unity and compassion among parents in similar circumstances.
