Popular couple Gurmeet
Choudhary and his wife Debina Bonnerjee is all set to embrace parenthood.
During the auspicious
Holi week, the actors have decided to drive down to Jarampur, a small village
in Bihar (Gurmeet's hometown) to adopt two girls
Pooja and Lata, aged six and
nine.
Gurmeet's parents -mother
Anmol, who is a Hindi school teacher and father Sitaram who is a retired army
officer -are settled there and that's where Pooja, an orphan, was living with
her uncle and first cousin Lata. But last year Lata's father passed away and
the two girls moved in with a distant relative.
“After hearing about
their plight from my mother I discussed them with my wife. Debina agreed with
me that it was time to give the kids a home, a deserving education and my last
name,” says Gurmeet.
The initial plan was to
support them financially but then remembering his own childhood in Jarampur,
which was without electricity for months during the monsoons and where life was
difficult without proper amenities, Gurmeet decided to adopt them.
“All the paperwork is
done. We will be going to Jarampur for the final signatures after Holi. It is a
two-day process. Everybody, including my parents, keeps asking me when I'm
planning a baby. Well, its official now, I'm bringing home two daughters and we
couldn't be more excited,” Gurmeet informs.
