Kareena Kapoor Khan: The actress spoke about how she was 'cautioned' not to marry a divorced man by those around her. She had said in an interview, “I’m just glad that people are doing things now and talking more about their love. When I wanted to marry Saif, everyone was like, ‘He has two children, he has been divorced. Are you sure you want to do this?’ They were like, ‘Your career will be over.’ And I was like, ‘Such a big crime to be in love? Such a big crime to get married? Let’s do it, let’s see what happens.”
Sushmita Sen: The actress adopted two daughters and became a single mother. Despite being young and single, Sushmita adopted her older daughter at 24, breaking the stereotypes surrounding motherhood. “The wisest decision I made at the age of 24 was to become a mother. It stabilised my life. People think it was a great act of charity and wonderful action but it was self-preservation. It was me protecting myself,” she said.
Neena Gupta: The actress became a single mother out of wedlock when she found herself pregnant with Masaba, more than 30 years ago. And while people were quick to judge her, her father stayed by her side. “A lot of people told me at that time - we will marry you so that your child gets a name. I said “what the f***. What name? I can earn and look after my daughter,” she said.
Farah Khan: She was one of the first female celebs in India to openly speak about having her children through IVF. She gave birth to triplets - daughters Diva and Anya, and son Czar at the age of 43.
Tanishaa Mukerji: The actress revealed that she froze her eggs at the age of 39 because she wanted to have kids someday. Her doctor told her to freeze her eggs only when she had ‘no hope of conceiving a baby’ and she added that it was a personal choice.
