Now, Bipasha has revealed that she and Karan want to have a daughter. She said, “Karan and I were clear from the beginning that we wanted a baby. I don’t have any thoughts on why it is so late or why it took time. For me, this is the right time. I believe this is when we were supposed to have our baby. We believe in manifestation. From the time we have wanted a child, we have hoped for a baby girl. I know a baby is a beautiful gift, and we are supposed to be in acceptance of any gender, and the bigger picture is that, but we call our baby ‘she’. We believe it’s a she, and we have believed that since the time we decided to have a baby.

Talking about returning to work, she said, “As soon as I get the hang of being a new mom, I will get back to work. It’s important for women to be completely independent… financially and emotionally. You have to learn to love yourself first. Then a soulmate comes or doesn’t come, doesn’t matter. Make your careers and then if love, marriage, and babies have to happen, they will happen.”

Bipasha got married to Karan in 2016 after dating for a few years. Ever since the couple tied the knot, there have been Bipasha's pregnancy rumours every now and then.
