Almost a week ago, Soha Ali Khan launched her new podcast, All About Here (AAH), a platform dedicated to candid conversations with inspiring women about health, wellness, personal growth, and the many challenges they navigate. The first episode featured Malaika Arora, and now, Soha has teased her next guest: Sunny Leone. In the new promo, Sunny appears alongside Dr. Kiran Coelho to discuss the emotional and practical realities of parenthood, adoption, and surrogacy.

The clip opens with Sunny sharing, “In my head, I want to adopt a child.” Dr. Kiran follows with a striking observation: “In India, if your wife cannot conceive… you just get a new wife.”

Soha then poses a question: “Do you want to be a parent… do you want to be pregnant?”

Sunny goes on to reveal, “We applied for adoption, and the day we did the IVF was the same day we matched with a little girl.” A visibly surprised Soha reacts, “Having no children to three overnight!”

When asked if surrogacy was a conscious choice, Sunny replies, “Yeah! I didn’t want to carry.” She also opens up about the financial obligations involved: “There was a weekly fee. Her husband also got money. They would take off days, so she got money for that. We paid so much that she bought a house and had a beautiful lounge wedding.”

The episode also touches on the legal and medical aspects of surrogacy and IVF in India. Dr. Kiran highlights the strict prohibition of sex determination, stressing: “The day you do, they will close the centre and the doctor will go to jail.”
