Mumbai, Sep 30 (IANS) Actress Bipasha Basu shared a protective and heartwarming moment with her daughter Devi during a visit to a Durga Puja pandal.

As the little one appeared frightened by the crowd and flashing cameras, Bipasha gently told the photographers to take it easy. At the North Bombay Sarbojanin Durga Puja pandal, Bipasha was seen posing for photographers alongside her husband, actor Karan Singh Grover, while lovingly holding their daughter, Devi, in her arms. While striking a pose, she told the shutterbugs, “Dhere aram se, dar rahi hai vo, dhere thank you,” ensuring her little one felt safe amidst the crowd.

The ‘Omkara’ actress also took a moment to meet veteran filmmaker Rakesh Roshan, respectfully bowing to touch his feet, while Rakesh warmly greeted Devi. Karan Singh Grover shared a warm hug with Roshan, and the couple were also spotted engaging in a friendly conversation with filmmaker Ayan Mukerji.
