Farah Khan breaks silence on her struggle with infertility and IVF.

Farah Khan recently appeared on tennis icon and her close friend Sania Mirza’s ‘Serving It Up with Sania’ podcast, where she talked about her struggles with IVF. The Choreographer-director revealed that she failed IVF twice during the shoot of her movie, Om Shanti Om. Farah mentioned that she was heartbroken during this time and used to cry a lot.

“I failed twice in IVF. I used to just be crying and crying. It’s also because of the hormones that are pumped in. I used to cry at the drop of a hat. And I was also shooting Om Shanti Om at the same time,” Farah said.

Farah Khan married filmmaker Shirish Kunder on December 9, 2004. The couple welcomed triplets, following an in vitro procedure, son Czar and daughters Diva and Anya, on February 11, 2008.

Previously too, Farah Khan broke the silence on her struggle with infertility and IVF on a podcast with actor Debinna Bonnerjee. “Pehle toh main bolungi late pregnancy kyuki meri shaadi hi late hui. I was 40 years old when I got married. Toh waise bhi pregnancy late hi honi thi. (First of all I will say late pregnancy because my marriage got delayed. I was 40 years old when I got married. So anyway, the pregnancy was bound to be late),” the choreographer said.

“Uske baad ek-do saal hum log ne naturally try kiya kyuki hum ek gynaecologist ke paas gaye the and I said ki I am old toh… unhone kaha, ‘Nahi try naturally’, toh naturally nahi ho raha tha. (After a year or two we tried naturally because we went to a gynaecologist and I said I am too old… He said, ‘Don’t try naturally’, it was not happening naturally)” she added.

On the work front, Farah Khan recently appeared as the host and judge of the cooking-based reality show, Celebrity MasterChef. Besides this, she also runs a YouTube channel with her cook, Dilip.
