Bipasha Basu Opens Up About Her Daughter’s Heart Surgery

The Bollywood actress recounts the experience in an emotional interview.

Bollywood actor Bipasha Basu opened up about her daughter Devi’s health struggles, sharing that the little one was born with two holes in her heart.

During an emotional Instagram Live chat with fellow Indian actress, Neha Dhupia, Bipasha candidly discussed the challenging journey her family had to navigate, filled with love, determination, and courage.

The shocking news of Devi’s heart condition came to Bipasha and her husband, Karan Singh Grover, just three days after their daughter’s birth.

The medical advice they received indicated that regular scans were needed to monitor the progress of the holes, though their size made it unlikely for them to close naturally. As time passed, the realization dawned on the couple that surgery was the only viable solution to ensure Devi’s well-being.

Bipasha openly shared her emotional turmoil during this period, expressing the complexity of the situation, saying,

You feel so sad, burdened, and conflicted because how can you put such a small child through an open-heart surgery.

Despite her tears, her determination to help her daughter heal was unwavering. She consulted various surgeons and medical experts to gather information and make informed decisions regarding the procedure.

Devi’s operation was successful, but Bipasha confessed to the heart-wrenching anxiety she experienced during the six hours her daughter was in the operating room. She recounted speaking to her baby during this time, offering comfort and reassurance, and Devi made a noise that conveyed to Bipasha that everything would be alright.

Reflecting on the experience, Bipasha highlighted the positive atmosphere Devi created even in the ICU, describing her as a source of joy and laughter.

Bipasha expressed gratitude and pride for her resilient daughter, referring to Devi as a “brave heart” who had inspired the entire family.
