Gurmeet Choudhary and Debina Bonnerjee are over the moon as they became proud parents to a baby girl recently. The couple, who met when they were just 18-year-olds, welcomed their first child on April 3. Apparently, there house is flooded with ‘rishtedaar and khaandan’ as their near and dear ones are thronging to see their week-old daughter and congratulate the happy parents. Now, speaking to a leading daily, Gurmeet has opened up about why they delayed the birth of their first child.
Speaking about embracing parenthood after 11 years of marriage, Gurmeet said that he was waiting for the right time and said, “Mere mom and dad ne mujhe hamesha pyaar se rakha hain. But kyunki hum middle class family se the, bohot saari cheezein, mujhe mil nahi paai. My parents did the best they could, but as a kid you think, I wish things were a little different. I wish I had that especially when I used to see my friends. I always compared what they had and I didn’t. When I started working, I used to discuss it with Debina ki bacche tab honge jab meri wo aukaat ho. If my baby wants something I should never need to worry about it. Whatever is needed to bring up a child, I know I can do it. Now I won’t get a second thought. So intezaar tha and I wanted it at the right time.”
Gurmeet also spoke about the overwhelming feeling he has for his daughter and said, “Whenever I leave the house, I feel like turant ghar jaana hai aur apni daughter ko dekhna hai. She is small, haath mein lete huye bhi darr lagta hai. We are used to dumbbells of 50 kgs, and she hardly weighs anything. So I was like kahi kass ke naa pakad lu. So for one day, I was a little scared.”
Debina and Gurmeet welcomed their daughter on April 3 and announced her birth on social media with an adorable video. They recently were clicked by the paparazzi as they left the hospital after getting discharged and headed home with their bundle of joy.
