Karan Singh Grover and Bipasha Babu welcomed their first child on November 12, 2022, and they keep sharing glimpses from their parenting journey.

Bipasha shared that on the third day after Devi’s birth, doctors informed her about her daughter having two holes in her heart and they were asked to undergo a scan every month to check whether the holes were being healed on their own. (Photo: Bipasha Basu/Instagram)

Bipasha added that the doctors had warned them that given the holes were so large it wasn’t possible that it would happen on its own. They also told the parents that the best time to get the surgery done would be when Devi was three months old. (Photo: Bipasha Basu/Instagram)

"You feel so sad, burdened, and conflicted because how can you put such a small child in an open heart surgery," Bipasha said, controlling her tears. She added that they manifested their thoughts that it would happen on its own. (Photo: Bipasha Basu/Instagram)

"The first time we did the scan, it didn’t happen. The next month it didn’t. When we went for the third month, I pretty much had done the research, spoken to surgeons, doctors and been to hospitals," Bipasha shared, as she broke down. (Photo: Bipasha Basu/Instagram)

The actor added that while her husband Karan Singh Grover was not ready, she was sure she wanted to heal her daughter. “I knew she had to be okay. I knew she would be okay. And today, she is okay. It was about getting the operation done at the right time, right place," shared Bipasha. (Photo: Bipasha Basu/Instagram)

She added, "But if you love your child, you must do it however difficult (it can be). It’s for the future of your child. Devi had a very successful operation, and I never had a doubt about it. But the six hours that she was in the OT, my life felt like it stopped." (Photo: Bipasha Basu/Instagram)

Bipasha concluded by saying, "Devi is our brave heart and very powerful." (Photo: Bipasha Basu/Instagram)
