TUSSHAR ON CHALLENGES OF SURROGACY

In an exclusive conversation with IndiaToday.in, Tusshar Kapoor opened up about the challenges he faced when he opted for surrogacy. He also shared how his family reacted when he chose to become a dad.

"Yes, it was very challenging because it was an unconventional route. After much introspection and finally making up my mind, I think the challenge became far less, because it was all about doing the procedure. Before deciding, it was a bit challenging, like it is for anybody who is trying to do something new, you find it challenging. But once you make up your mind, the challenge becomes less and you just have to go ahead with your heart's decision."

TUSSHAR ON HOW HIS FAMILY REACTED TO HIS DECISION TO BECOME A DAD

When I chose to take the step, they just said 'you have to be ready for it and if you are ready for it, then we are ready for it'. They were obviously surprised because they didn't expect me to take this step. But eventually, (they said) 'if you are okay with it, we are okay with it'."
