Harbhajan Singh revealed that he and his actress-wife Geeta Basra have given birth to a baby boy on July 10th. During an interaction with Pinkvilla Geeta Basra says that becoming a mother is a great sensation and that she is fortunate to have experienced it for the second time.
She said, “What makes it even more special is that we have Hinaya with us to enjoy the happiness. I am thoroughly enjoying the madness, the chaos, and our house is bursting with fun and laughter. That being said, I believe that now I have to strike a perfect balance between the kids, managing time, giving equal attention, and prioritising them above all is my only aim”.
Geeta had even revealed her son’s name on social media just a few days before. “Introducing HEER ka VEER.. Jovan Veer Singh Plaha”.
She expressed herself on Instagram. Geeta reveals that when she was pregnant with Hinaya, she chose the name, Jovan. She wrote, “For some reason at that time I had felt that I was having a boy, so I had selected this name. However, we always take out a letter from Guru Granth Sahib, so I felt that anyway there’s no point in selecting a name when you know that you might have to select another one, if another letter comes out. However, when Jovan was born, and I always wanted to call my son Jovan Veer – imagine when we took out a letter from Guru Granth Sahib – that letter was J. I think it was like a blessing, where we were supposed to name him Jovan”.
Geeta goes on to add about Hinaya’s reaction to the arrival of her baby brother, “Hinaya was extremely excited, but I think I was more excited than Hinaya, because I wanted to see her reaction – how she would react seeing Jovan for the first time. It was like a priceless moment for me because she was so excited to come to the hospital and see him. She was so happy. She kept staring at him, just looking at him in this overwhelming feeling,” smiles Geeta, further adding that Harbhajan is travelling for work. “However, he is always video calling and talking with him and her. He is obviously over the moon, he has a huge attachment with the kids”.
She concluded, “Bhajji was here for 10 days. We both did the work – I would feed him, bhajji would change the diaper, bathe him. He would get up with me, so we both shared the job, and that’s great. Obviously everything can’t be put on just the mother, it’s important for the father to have that bond, to have that equal partnership in raising the children,” she concludes.
