Harbhajan Singh on wife Geeta Basra: Pregnant or otherwise, it’s not easy to stay with a woman

New Delhi: Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh and his wife Bollywood actor Geeta Basra are all set to welcome a new member in their life as the couple is expecting their first child next month. Harbhajan, who is in London with Geeta, said he is very excited about it. “Our baby (their first) is to arrive at the end of July or in the first week of August,” Bhajji was quoted as saying by crictracker.com. “Bas sab badhiya chal raha hai (everything is going fine). I’m excited and hoping sab theek se ho jaye (hope that everything goes fine)… delivery procedure and afterwards,” added the 36-year-old. Harbhajan and Geeta got married in October last year. He revealed that he attended a few pre-natal classes for couples with Geeta, in London, to be ready for the new responsibilities in his life. “I’ve always been a responsible man when it comes to family… And with the baby, that would only grow. “It’s a new chapter. I am looking forward to it. I’ve attended a few classes where they tell you what to expect, and help you prepare for your role as parents. There were other parents too,” he said. Bhajji also said that the baby will be born in England. “Geeta is British and she is comfortable being with her parents at this time. That’s why we’ve planned the delivery there,” added the off-spinner. To welcome their first child, the couple is busy with the preparations and not leaving any stone unturned. “We’ve bought some stuff. Agar kuch dikhta hai (If we find something), and if we feel we’ll need it, we buy it, jaise (like) stroller, etc. Geeta also wanted the first baby suit to be the best. She wanted designer and all, so I said, ‘Le le yar, le le’. So she bought something from Harrods, England. Earlier, we would just pass by the section for kids, it wouldn’t even register. Now, that’s where we head first.” Talking about the challenges of married life, the soon-to-be father said, “Pregnant or otherwise, it’s not easy to stay with a woman (laughs).” “I try to be understanding, and I help her be comfortable. One must try to understand her situation and be as supportive as possible. That’s what I do. Do gaali aur khalo jahan itni khayi hain. Kya jaata hai.. jab itni sun ke chup ho, toh do aur sunke chup raho (laughs).”
