Priyanka Chopra says she ‘froze her eggs in her early 30s’ on mom’s suggestion: ‘I had not met the person with whom I wanted to have kids’

Later in the conversation, she shared how she got her eggs frozen in her early thirties and that gave her a sense of ‘freedom’. She said, “I felt such freedom, I did it in my early thirties and I could continue on an ambitious warpath, I wanted to achieve and I wanted to get to a certain place in my career. Also, I had not met the person with whom I wanted to have children. So, with that anxiety-inducing, and with my mom who is an ob-gyn (obstetrician-gynaecologist) going, ’36…just do it'”.

Priyanka also shared that she is an advocate of the medical process of freezing eggs. She shared, “My mom had said this to me and I did do it for myself as well. I tell all my younger friends that the biological clock is for real. It gets so much harder to get pregnant after 35 and to carry to term and all of that. Especially with women that have been working all our lives. But science is at such an amazing place right now where if you can afford it, I tell people you save money for a car, do it for this Christmas, this is the best gift you will give yourself because you are taking the power of your biological clock. You can work for till however long, your eggs will be of the same age as when you froze them.”

Now, Priyanka is a doting mother to her 13-month-old daughter Malti. During the interview, she shared how Malti has started to develop a diverse palette and is enjoying the taste of various world cuisines.
