Kriti Sanon Froze Her Eggs During Mimi

In a recent conversation with Humans of Bombay founder Karishma Mehta, the 35-year-old actress revealed, “You have one life. You have to get to live it the way you want to live it. It’s your story to write. Nobody else can write it.” She reiterated, “You have one life. You have to get to live it the way you want to live it.” During the interview, the host inquired whether she considers her biological clock, given that for women, conceiving and having a healthy pregnancy can become more challenging with age and may carry higher risks.

Kriti responded, “Honestly, I froze my eggs. So there was a time when I was thinking about these questions, and I never wanted to be tied down to the fact that I need to get married now or I need to have kids now, and I am doing it because I have a timeline.”

Kriti: “It Shouldn’t Come Out Of Pressure”

She emphasised, “Whether it’s marriage or kids, you need to do it when you feel it inside. When you feel ready for it. It should not come out of a clock or some pressure, and I know not everyone can afford it. And I am fortunate that I could afford it. So I did it.” The actress also shared when she decided to freeze her eggs. It was just before filming Mimi, during a time when she was asked to gain 15 kg to portray a surrogate.

“I did it very smartly during that time when I had to gain weight for Mimi. It makes you bloat. I spoke to someone who told me about it and said that this is the best thing you can do for yourself if you can. It’s the best gift you can give yourself. And it was playing on my mind. When I was told to gain weight, I realised I had two months of no shoot, and all I am supposed to do is gain weight, and this is a film on surrogacy, so let me just do it because I felt everything,” she further shared.

Kriti On The Process Of Egg Freezing

Kriti acknowledged that egg freezing is no easy feat. It involves financial, physical, emotional, and mental challenges. Reflecting on her experience, she said, “There is a point when you feel hormonally disruptive and almost like a pregnant woman. Your mood swings are going off the charts, so I did it. And I am glad that I did it because I don’t want to have a clock in my head.”

Describing it as a “safety net,” she added, “It’s not an easy process, but it’s worth it.”

Kriti was last seen in Cocktail 2 alongside Shahid Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna.
