Actress Mehreen Pirzada Opens Up About Her Experience Of Freezing Eggs

Several prominent celebrities are embracing the latest techniques to manage their family planning. Celebrities like Mrunal Thakur are contemplating egg freezing, which provides them with the option to postpone marriage and focus on their careers. Actress Mehreen Pirzada, recognised for her performances in Tamil, Telugu and Kannada cinema, has also openly shared her decision to undergo this procedure, known as oocyte cryopreservation.

In a recent Instagram Story, Mehreen disclosed her experience with egg freezing. The video featured a fertility specialist explaining the procedure and the necessary medications. It also showed clips of Mehreen receiving abdominal injections as part of the egg preservation process. Remarkably, Mehreen, who is under 30, opted for the procedure.

Egg freezing, also called oocyte cryopreservation, involves storing a woman’s unfertilised eggs for future use. Mehreen Pirzada took to social media to share a detailed post about her experience. She wrote, “After two years of contemplating, I’m thrilled that I finally went through with this process. I debated whether to share something so personal. However, I realised many women like me haven’t decided when to marry or start a family. I believe it’s crucial to safeguard yourself for the future. I think all women should consider this to avoid complications later on.”

She further stated, “We don’t talk about this topic much because it’s often seen as taboo. But with technological advancements, we can make better decisions for ourselves, so why not take advantage of it? My dream is to become a mother, and I didn’t want to give up on it just because I was a few years late.”

When asked if it was worth the pain, Mehreen explained that although it was tough, especially for someone like her who is scared of needles, blood, and hospitals, she believed it was worth it.

Mehreen Pirzada’s personal life grabbed headlines when she got engaged to politician Bhavya Bishnoi three years ago. Unfortunately, her wedding plans were put on hold in 2021. Following this, Mehreen appeared in movies like F3 and Spark.
