Several actresses in the Indian film industry have spoken about freezing their eggs before marriage. Bollywood diva Esha Gupta also shared a similar experience. The Bollywood sensation revealed that she had already frozen her eggs years back when it was quite expensive in India. In a recent interview, she also shared her marriage plans with her boyfriend Spanish entrepreneur Manuel Campos Gualla. The actress also talked about her desire to become a mother and stated that if she was not an actress she would have had three children by now.
In an interview with ETimes, Esha said “I did my freezing in 2017, before I met Manuel. I was very smart. I was single for almost 3 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.”
“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 added.
Esha Gupta made her acting debut in Bollywood alongside Emraan Hashmi in Jannat 2 in 2012. Directed by Kunal Deshmukh, the movie gave a lot of recognition to her in the industry. The crime thriller starred Randeep Hooda, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Manish Chaudhari, Viren Basoya, Imran Zahid, and Brijendra Kala in key roles.
