Debina Bonnerjee and Gurmeet Choudhary were blessed with a baby girl on Sunday. The new parents recently welcomed the little angle home and are elated to embrace parenthood for the first time.
Gurmeet and Debina talked about it in a recent interview with BT and shared, “It took some time for the whole feeling to sink in. I was fully prepared, and I knew what to do. It was funny that Gurmeet and I cried so much when we saw her for the first time. The happy tears just wouldn’t stop. Both sets of grandparents are on top of the world. People around me are very happy that it’s a girl,” said Debina.
Gurmeet also added to the conversation and shared, “I have always loved having kids around but seeing my own baby brought a different level of happiness for both of us. I want to be a hero to my daughter. People have been talking to me about the father-daughter connection and I have been feeling that. I have been smiling throughout.”
He added, “We were merely 18 years old when we moved to Mumbai. We got married later and have been together for a long time. During the pregnancy, I became very protective of Debina. I used to constantly think about her wellbeing,” he says, adding that he is on paternity leave for a month now. “I have left projects and the ones which I had already committed to, I took a break from them. I felt it was the right thing to do. I am lucky that the people I am working with understood this.”
When asked about the baby’s name, Debina shared, “We are still deciding on that. We have decided on the first letter of the name and will finalize a name soon too.”
