Akansha Ranjan Kapoor Opens Up on Egg Freezing at 32: 'I Couldn’t Walk for 2–3 Days… It Felt Like a Big Balloon Inside Me' Akansha Ranjan Kapoor recently shared her personal experience with egg freezing at the age of 32 during a candid conversation with Soha Ali Khan on her podcast. The actor discussed the emotional and physical challenges of the procedure, offering a detailed account of her journey. Her decision to freeze her eggs was influenced by both medical advice and the experiences of her peers, highlighting the intersection of personal health and societal pressures. Kapoor explained that her choice was rooted in medical insights and the struggles she observed around her. She revealed that her Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) levels were notably low for her age, a factor that prompted her to consider the procedure. “Two-part answer. I had lots of people around me who were getting pregnant… everyone started doing tests, and they were like, ‘You should get your AMH done.’ So I got my AMH done… my AMH was pretty low for my age,” she shared. She emphasized that many of her friends faced unexplained infertility, which further reinforced her decision. Describing the process as a proactive step rather than a fear-driven one, Kapoor framed egg freezing as a form of “insurance for my future self.” She clarified that the decision was not motivated by anxiety but by a clear understanding of its importance for her long-term goals. “It wasn’t a fear; it was an understanding that it is something I need to do for my future self. And you just have to deal with it. It is kind of an insurance, I guess,” she said. Reflecting on the timing of her decision, Kapoor expressed regret for not acting earlier.#egg_freezing #fertility #akansha_ranjan_kapoor #soha_ali_khan #anti_mllerian_hormone
Akansha Ranjan Kapoor Shares Harrowing Experience of Egg Freezing Process Akansha Ranjan Kapoor, a 32-year-old actress known for her roles in web series like Guilty, Monica, O My Darling, and Ray, recently opened up about the physical and emotional challenges she faced during her egg freezing journey. In a candid conversation on Soha Ali Khan’s podcast All About Her, she detailed the reasons behind her decision, the intense physical discomfort, and her reflections on reproductive health. Kapoor explained that she chose to freeze her eggs due to concerns about her fertility, citing low Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) levels as a key factor. The AMH test, which measures ovarian reserve and fertility potential in women, revealed that her levels were at the lower end of the spectrum for her age. She emphasized that her decision was driven by a combination of personal health concerns and the challenges faced by those around her, many of whom struggled with unexplained infertility. “It wasn’t a fear; it was an understanding that it is something I need to do for my future self,” she said. The process, however, was far from painless. Kapoor described the physical toll of egg freezing, including severe bloating, heaviness, and pain that left her unable to walk for 2-3 days. She recounted how the injections caused a sensation akin to “a big balloon inside me,” making it difficult to stand straight. Her doctor noted that her small stature might contribute to the discomfort, but the pain was undeniable. “After the first day, there’s no way I can even walk,” she said, adding that the experience was unlike a typical menstrual cramp. Instead, it felt like a “discomfort” that left her feeling as though her stomach might burst. Kapoor’s ordeal extended beyond the physical.#akansha_ranjan_kapoor #soha_ali_khan #guilty #monica_omy_darling #ray
