Shilpa Shetty Kundra shut down all kinds of buzzing around a woman becoming a mother in 40s. She is an inspiration for every woman who believes in breaking the shackles of society and taking the road less travelled. Shilpa and her husband Raj Kundra announced on social media on February 21 this year that they have become proud parents again and this time through surrogacy. Recently, the actress got candid in a chat with Mumbai Mirror and revealed that it wasn’t easy to make the decision, she said,’It feels surreal when people ask me how my ‘children’ are doing. At 45, to have a newborn takes guts.’
The actress also added that she was nervous to bring Samisha home during the news of coronavirus slowly spreading at that time, ‘I flew private to bring Samisha home because there was no way in hell that I’d bring a baby born three weeks prematurely, with masks and all. A few days later, the nationwide lockdown was announced and I’m grateful for this time with my baby, which, as an actress, I wouldn’t have got otherwise.’ Hats off, Shilpa!
