I did not want to take a chance.” She elaborates on her decision to freeze her eggs, saying, “Ek women ka jo biological clock hota hai, wo tick hote jaa raha hai, every single day (A woman's biological clock is ticking, every single day). We are only born with these many eggs in a lifetime, and wo thode time baad deplete ho jati hai, so ye cheezon mien mujhe knowledge tha (It depletes after some time, so I was aware of these things).”

Jo aisi ek myth hai ki are aap mote ho jaate ho hormonal injection se, Nahi! But thoda sa ek crash aata hai hormone ka after the procedure is done etc (it is very physically taxing. You know it’s not easy; we have to take a lot of injections, there is a lot of bloating, and there is a lot of weight gain, which technically isn’t something alarming, it’s a lot of bloating that eventually goes away.

A lot of women wish to do it alone, probably from a few years. I might want to do it alone;  I might not want to do it alone. But at least I am stress-free now. I have done my part biologically.” She mentions taking care of that aspect of her life and currently living stress-free.
