Geeta Basra and her husband, cricketer Harbhajan Singh welcomed their second child, a baby boy on July 10. Recently, revealing the name of her newborn son, Geeta took to Instagram and shared a picture of her two children. They named him Jovan Veer Singh Plaha. Now, Geeta, who had tied the knot with Harbhajan Singh in 2015, in an interview with ETimes, got very candid and shared that their son arrived after she had two miscarriages. 'My son Jovan is a rainbow baby', she said. She revealed that her first miscarriage happened in 2019 and the second one in 2020. In both instances, Geeta was in her first trimester. Both times, her husband was by her side. In 2019 he flew down from Punjab to be by her side. In 2020, Geeta and Harbajan were together owing to the lockdown. Speaking about the huge loss she has had to endure, she urged women who have suffered miscarriages to not lose hope. She said, 'I want to tell those women who have had miscarriages and lost hope to pick themselves up again. They should not give up and suffer in silence yearning for a child. Yes, a miscarriage can have a terrible effect on you from which you might take a long time to come out. A couple of my friends have had miscarriages. But we as women have to learn to put this behind us in the quickest possible time.'
