Bipasha Basu talks about the surgery

Bipasha shared her emotional journey during that tough time and the difficulty of making such decisions for her child. "You feel so sad, so burdened, so conflicted because how can you put such a small child in an open heart surgery. I remember during the third month we had gone for a scan. I had done the research, met surgeons in the hospitals, spoken to doctors. Karan was not ready, I was ready to kick this out of her," she said.

Her daughter is fine now, and she wanted to share her story to provide information and support to other mothers. The Raaz actress said, "It is the toughest thing to have your little child and have these ten doctors explain to you what all can happen. Devi had a very successful operation, but those 6 hours when she was in the OT, my life felt like it stopped."
