Esha Gupta On Freezing Her Eggs In 2017, "I've Always Dreamed Of Having Kids"

The world is getting more accustomed to the conversation around fertility and motherhood, Bollywood included. Esha Gupta revealed on Mother's Day 2024 that she froze her eggs in 2017 in an exclusive interview with ETimes. The process of egg freezing is gaining popularity across the globe and given its benefits, the talk around it seems justified. Esha Gupta says, "I did my freezing in 2017, before I met Manuel. I did the freezing at that time when in India it was really expensive." The process involves harvesting the woman's eggs and freezing them for future use through IVF or surrogacy. This is a preferred option for couples who want to try and conceive at a later age when the chances of pregnancy are much lower. "If I wasn't an actor, I would have already had three kids by now for sure, I've always wanted kids so I would have had three," elaborates Esha Gupta on her decision to wait to have kids at the right time.

On her plans for the future with longtime beau Manuel McGuallar, Esha says, "Marriage would happen anytime soon. I'm focusing more on just my health. Eventually, whenever down the line, I'll get married, and then down the line, I have kids. I've always dreamed of having kids. That's always been important. Kids and dogs are two aspects of my life that I can never think of living without."

Inspired by Mona Singh's decision to freeze her eggs at the age of 34, Mrunal Thakur was among the recent Bollywood celebrities to get candid on the topic of egg freezing. On relationships and what the future holds, she revealed, "Relationships, I know it's tough, but that's why you need the right partner who would understand what the nature of your job is. Freezing the eggs, yes, I'm also considering that."

Motherhood is a personal journey, not always easy. But the advancement of technology has opened a whole new world filled with opportunities and most importantly topics of discussion that were otherwise silenced.
