Kriti Sanon Reveals Freezing Her Eggs Before Working On Mimi: 'Not An Easy Process...'

Kriti Sanon has made a big revelation that she froze her eggs a few years ago. While talking about this life altering decision, the actress shared that she did not want to be tied down to the pressure of having a timeline for getting married and having kids. 

Why Did Kriti Sanon Freeze Her Eggs?

In a recent interview with Humans of Bombay founder Karishma Mehta, the actress shared that she did this before she was cast in Mimi, where she was asked to put on 15 kg to play the role of a surrogate.

Explaining her decision, she added, "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 acknowledged that she is fortunate that she could afford to do it. 

"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 added.

However, Kriti shared that it was a difficult process because 'you feel hormonally disruptive and almost like a pregnant woman.' She further called it a safety net, while adding, "It's not an easy process, but it's worth it."
