From Priyanka Chopra To Lisa Ray: Bollywood Celebrities That Chose Surrogacy

Lisa Ray announced in 2018 that she’s now a mum to twin daughters. The 49-year-old actor, who’s a cancer survivor, opted for surrogacy to experience motherhood. In an interview, she said, “Having been diagnosed with multiple myeloma (a form of blood cancer) in 2009, which requires me to be on a lifelong dose of medication, pre-empted the possibility for me to carry children myself. Fortunately, technology has progressed where there are choices and new possibilities for having children.”

Even in today’s day and age, there’s a stigma that surrounds surrogacy. It’s still a taboo subject, to be discussed in hushed whispers if at all you must. People opt for surrogacy for various medical and lifestyle reasons, and let’s not forget that for same-sex couples, it’s one of the few ways to start a family. When celebrities make an unconventional choice, it normalises the concept and makes it more acceptable in the society. “Hopefully, our story can give hope to others who are struggling to have kids. Life throws you both challenges and miracles, and I’m unspeakably grateful for my miracle daughters,” Lisa added.
