Egg freezing is becoming an increasingly open conversation, with more women choosing to speak about fertility planning on their own terms. Here are six stars who have candidly opened up about the deeply personal decision.

Kriti Sanon

Actor Kriti Sanon recently shared that she chose to freeze her eggs a few years ago, before filming ‘Mimi’. Speaking to Humans of Bombay, the 35-year-old explained why she wanted to make the decision on her own terms.

“Honestly, I froze my eggs. So there was a time when I was thinking about these questions, and I never wanted to be tied down to the fact that I need to get married now or I need to have kids now, and I am doing it because I have a timeline.”

Priyanka Chopra Jonas

Priyanka Chopra Jonas revealed that she froze her eggs in her early 30s, allowing herself the freedom to focus on her career while waiting for the right time to start a family. She also shared that the decision was encouraged by her mother.

“I did it in my early 30s. I could continue on an ambitious path that I wanted to achieve. I wanted to get to a certain place in my career. And I also hadn’t met the person I wanted to have children with.”

Richa Chadha

Richa Chadha underwent egg freezing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Over the years, she has described the decision as one rooted in personal choice, bodily autonomy and reproductive rights, stressing that women should have the freedom to decide when and whether they want to become parents.

Ekta Kapoor

Television producer Ekta Kapoor opted to freeze her eggs at the age of 36 after discussing age-related fertility with her doctor. Years later, she welcomed her son Ravie via surrogacy in January 2019, embracing motherhood as a single parent.

Mona Singh

Actor Mona Singh froze her eggs at 34 after her family gynaecologist suggested the option. She later shared that the process gave her peace of mind. The actor took a five-month break from work, travelled to Pune with her mother for medical procedures and completed the hormonal treatment before the egg retrieval.

“I have frozen my eggs and now I am free.”

Akansha Ranjan Kapoor

On Women's Day 2026, Akansha Ranjan Kapoor publicly opened up about freezing her eggs, documenting the physical and emotional journey on social media. She candidly described everything from daily hormone injections to the final procedure.

 

“Yesterday I froze my eggs!! I really didn’t plan on sharing, but today feels like the right day to say this. The female body is EXTRAORDINARY. The last two weeks were intense. Injecting myself with fat needles every day, hormones doing their thing, the bloating, the mood swings, the endless scans, the meds, the IV drip, and finally surgery.”
