Farah Khan Opens Up About Struggles with Motherhood

Bollywood’s renowned choreographer, director, and actress Farah Khan may have a glamorous life on the outside, but she has faced profound personal challenges. Determined to become a mother, Farah underwent in-vitro fertilisation (IVF). However, repeated failures left her devastated, and she often spent her days crying.

In 2008, Farah Khan became a mother to three children simultaneously through IVF. Yet, before this success, her first two attempts at becoming a mother had failed. In a recent interview, she candidly spoke about those difficult times.

She revealed, “I failed twice with IVF. I cried a lot and spent my days in tears. Perhaps the hormonal fluctuations made me even more emotional. During that challenging period, I was also shooting for the film ‘Om Shanti Om’.”

Farah married film director Shirish Kunder in 2004. Due to marrying later in life, she faced difficulties conceiving naturally. On the advice of her gynaecologist, she turned to IVF.

After the first two unsuccessful attempts, Farah, at the age of 42, considered her third attempt to be her final one. Finally, the third attempt succeeded, and she became a mother to one son and two daughters.
