Women of today's generation are all about taking control of their lives, from being independent to choosing their partner and having a successful career. And this is when the woman's biological clock is debated and discussed. Recently, the former beauty queen and actress Esha Gupta discussed how she took control of her biological clock and froze her eggs in 2017.
Taking matters into her own hands, like many successful women, Esha froze her eggs even before getting into a long-term relationship with beau Manuel McGuallar. Speaking about the same, she said, "I did my freezing in 2017 before I met Manuel. I was very smart. I was single for almost three and half years before I met Manuel (in 2019). I met him by chance, not even in his country or my country. Since then, we both knew that we were getting into a relationship and not dating. You're not at that age to date. We were very clear that if it goes well, our end goal is marriage. We want to get married; we want to have kids. I've always loved babies a lot. Manuel knows that; he's ready (to be a father), and he's prepared".
Further, she added, "I did the freezing at that time when in India, it was really expensive. But I was certain that when it comes to health – anything. These (the eggs) are my kids. I'd rather freeze them when I'm healthy. If I weren't an actor, I would have already had three kids by now for sure. I've always wanted kids, so I think I would have had three... he (Manuel) is okay with surrogacy, which many might have a problem with. He is even okay with adoption – something I told him that we might. So, I'm not stressed when we get married... I keep telling Manuel I want the baby to have his eyes and my skin colour. I just want to marry him because of kids".
She also spoke about how she would freeze her eggs when she is healthy and revealed that when she and Manuel get married, they will have children either via IVF or surrogacy, depending on when they get married and what her body is going through at that period.
