Actor Tanishaa Mukerji has revealed that she froze her eggs at the age of 39, in case she wants to have children someday.
She said that she originally wanted to undergo the procedure when she was 33 but her doctor advised her against it and told her to freeze her eggs only when she had ‘no hope of conceiving a baby’.
The former ‘Bigg Boss 7’ contestant further called her decision a ‘personal choice’, adding that it is alright for women to not have children.
Tanisha is not the first celeb in India to freeze her eggs.
Former Miss World and actor/model Diana Hayden was among the first Indian celebs to freeze her eggs. She got her eggs frozen in her mid-thirties. She later became pregnant from her frozen eggs.
TV actress Mona Singh also froze her eggs at the age of 34, so she could live her life and have kids when she and her husband are ready.
