EXCLUSIVE: We saw a heartbeat and couldn’t believe: Debina Bonnerjee on her and Gurmeet Choudhary’s reaction to second pregnancy

Debina Bonnerjee and Gurmeet Choudhary welcomed their first child, daughter Lianna through IVF in April this year. Debina and Gurmeet are currently on cloud nine. Debina gave birth to her second child, a baby girl, on Friday (11 November). Now, in an exclusive interview with Bollywood Bubble for the second season of XtraOrdinary You, Debina revealed her and husband Gurmeet Choudhary’s reaction to second pregnancy.

Debina shared, “I was numb when I came to know. And coming to know was also very different and weird because I was feeling slightly unwell and I came to know because I am very, I am very aware about my body. Not many people would be aware like this. Little bit different I feel I understand. I am an overthinker. So, I was like yeah I am thinking I am feeling little different and then I thought to myself that I am different maybe because I am tired and I have just delivered there’s a baby and there’s family so I slept over it.”

The actress added, “When this uneasiness did not go away after a few weeks, I told Guru. He also told me that you need to take rest and I rested. And then I was like no we have to find out the reason. I bought a test kit over online and tested it myself. So I was just so numb, I did not know how to react. I had a very uneasy feeling like something was amiss. I don’t know why but I just tested and because so many years of my life was only around that, the first thing that will come in my mind is that and not that I have some other bimari (disease).”

She went on to add, “So I tested and I was so numb. I was shaking, shivering. I could not go out of the room to call Guru. I called him and said come and I showed him. He was also… he did not know how to react. He said ‘what is this? what is this?’ I said ‘what is this? See what is this’. So, this is how our reaction was and then I told my mom the third person. My mom was the first person who actually said I knew this. Your motherly instinct has recovered your body so just don’t worry I am there with you. And it is Lianna who has called her soulmate. So, there cannot be anything more beautiful than this. So, I am there don’t worry.”

Debina further added, “So, next day we went to the doctor. We saw a heartbeat and we could not believe it ourselves. That is how both of us sat together. For me, it was an assurance that my body whom I was cursing all these years, thinking that my body has failed me has eventually not failed me. My body has replied back to me. And the second thing we felt is that we always wanted two children and not that everybody thinks that you know I hear ‘completes means otherwise you’re incomplete, absolutely not’. It’s a choice. So our choice was to always have two kids and when we realized we are gonna become parents and even though it is that soon, we thought why not and what if we planned and God do not plan according to our plan? And good that we did not plan. The best part was that there was no stress in life and eventually that worked.”
