Soha Ali Khan recently opened up about her personal fertility journey. In a heartfelt conversation with Sunny Leone and a fertility expert, she revealed being told at 35 that she was very old to freeze her eggs, sharing insights into the challenges and realities of family planning.

Discussing surrogacy and adoption

On her podcast All About Her, Soha discussed deeply personal topics like surrogacy and adoption while exploring their emotional, social, and medical aspects. She shared that at 35, when she approached a gynecologist about freezing her eggs, she was told she was already considered very old, a comment that stayed with her despite others saying she was still young.

Expert perspective on fertility

The fertility expert offered a medical perspective, explaining that fertility depends on multiple factors. She highlighted the use of reliable tests like Anti-Müllerian Hormone levels and antral follicle counts early in the menstrual cycle to predict fertility, noting that the ideal age for egg freezing is between 28 and 34. The episode, set to release on YouTube on 29 August, also features Sunny Leone discussing surrogacy and the significant costs she and her husband Daniel Weber incurred for their surrogate.
