"I got to know on the third day after 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. 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."

While Bipasha and Karan used to go for scans every month, the doctors were doubtful that the holes were healing. However, the new parents waited for three months, and finally, they decided to opt for surgery. Sharing the details, Bipasha broke down in tears as she recalled the difficult time and said:
"You feel so burdened and conflicted. 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, been to hospitals, spoke to doctors, and I was kind of ready."
The actress further revealed that Karan was not ready for the surgery, whereas she was ready to go to any extent as she didn’t want her baby girl to go through anything in future. However, Bipasha added that the toughest part was to take the decision of getting her child operated at the right place at the right time. She revealed that it was very hard to take her little child to the hospital while ten doctors were explaining to her what could have happened.
