Lisa Ray Has Twins Via Surrogacy!

Lisa Ray Has Twins Via Surrogacy!

In India, it’s perfectly acceptable to ask people the most intimate questions in the most public settings. For example, when are you getting married? Even if that’s a decision you would want to make at a personal level, in the privacy of your home. Or, if you are married, it’s almost imperative that an aunty ask you when you are having babies. And we deem it okay to ignore the struggles of a couple who may be trying to conceive. So, when Lisa Ray announced the birth of twin daughters via surrogacy, it put the topic of surrogacy back in the spotlight.

It is indeed great news for Lisa Ray, but her message on the post announcing the news is also important. She emphasises that she and her husband have chosen to share the ‘intimate story of our surrogacy journey as a way to normalize and embrace fertility possibilities for everyone.’ More importantly, she also talks about the struggles couples could potentially face, saying that ‘It’s not easy but achievable.’

Lisa brings up an important point in modern day India where couples struggling to have babies will try anything. And it’s not just them that want the babies, the pressure from both sets of parents can also be immense. In the case of health issues, women are often branded ‘not good enough’ if they can’t pop babies instantly. In such cases or by choice, surrogacy could be an option for many to consider.

We applaud Lisa for talking about this and congratulate her on her motherhood!
