She Didn’t Need a Husband to Become a Mom — Bhojpuri Singer Devi’s Bold IVF Journey

Whether you follow Bhojpuri music or not, you would have probably heard of Devi. She is often called the Mallika of Sur for her pure and expressive folk songs. Beyond the stage, Devi has now made history. She embraced single motherhood and welcomed a baby boy via IVF. She broke the stereotypes of getting married to have a baby.

A Courageous Decision

On September 9, 2025, Devi gave birth to her son via C-section at AIIMS Rishikesh. Medical staff confirmed both she and the baby are healthy. She was impregnated through IVF using donor sperm from Germany. Devi shared her first glimpse of her newborn on Instagram, lovingly captioning the photo, “Mera babu hai”

Many congratulated her for courageously redefining norms, calling her a role model. Her fans railed around her, calling it historic and inspirational. Others criticized her decision.  

The IVF Facts

While IVF is often seen as taboo or overly medical, important clarification helps us understand its reality:

• IVF does not guarantee pregnancy on the first try. No clinic can promise 100% success.
• It’s used not just for women with fertility issues, but also when male infertility is a concern.
• Single women, widows, and divorced women can legally opt for IVF or surrogacy in India today.
