'Gram Chikitsalay' actor Akansha Ranjan opens up about freezing her eggs: 'My mother was like, beta, surgery kyun karni hai?'
Actress Akansha Ranjan has opened up about one of the most important personal decisions she has made in recent years. The actress spoke candidly about choosing to freeze her eggs and explained why she felt it was the right step for her future. Akansha said in a recent interview that she approached the decision with clarity and confidence and also revealed that the support she received from her family played a significant role in making the journey easier.
Parents trusted her judgment
Speaking to IANS about her family's reaction, Akansha said she never had to fight for approval or spend time convincing her parents. According to her, they have always respected her ability to make decisions for herself. She said, "I think I am at that age where my parents fully trust my judgement and I don't really have to convince them for one thing or the other." The actress explained that her parents were open to understanding her perspective and allowed her the space to make a choice she believed was best for her future. Their trust, she noted, gave her confidence throughout the process.
Father wanted to understand the process
Akansha revealed that her father initially approached the subject with curiosity. He wanted to understand the medical and personal aspects behind the decision. Rather than opposing the idea, he sought clarity about something that was unfamiliar to him. She explained, "For my dad, it was more about understanding it because he doesn't come from that school of thought. Obviously, he's also not a woman, so he doesn't understand the intricacies of our bodies and biological clocks."
According to Akansha, her father's questions came from a desire to learn more rather than any hesitation about her choice.
Mother's initial concern soon changed
The actress also spoke about her mother's reaction, revealing that her first concern was related to the medical procedure itself. Like many parents, she was worried about her daughter's health and wellbeing before fully understanding the reasons behind the decision. Recalling the moment, Akansha said, "My mother was like, 'Beta, surgery kyun karni hai?' She was a little worried in the beginning. But when I explained what was going on in my head and why I was considering it, she understood immediately." Once she heard Akansha's reasoning, her mother quickly became supportive and encouraging.
