Isha Ambani opens up on welcoming twins via IVF

Isha Ambani, daughter of Mukesh and Nita Ambani, a businesswoman herself , is a mother of twins. She recently opened up about welcoming her twins via IVF (In vitro fertilization). She spoke about the challenges of undergoing through the procedure and why she wants to normalise welcoming babies through IVF. Her mother, Nita, also welcomed her twins Isha and Akash through IVF.  In an interview with Vogue India. Isha spoke about welcoming her twins through IVF. "I’m very quick to say that my twins were conceived via IVF because that’s how we’ll normalise it, right? Nobody should feel isolated or ashamed. It’s a difficult process. When you’re going through it, you’re physically exhausted," she said. Isha added, “If there is modern technology in the world today, why not use it to have children? It should be something you’re excited about, not something you should have to hide. If you can find support groups or other women to talk to, the process can feel much easier.” Isha handles multiple businesses owned by her family and now balances those along with her responsibilities of being a mother. She also credits her strong support system at home for helping her transition into a working mum. “A mother has to take on a disproportionate amount of labour because there are a few things, like breastfeeding, that only she can do. But there’s a bunch of other stuff that both husband and wife can and must do when it comes to parenting.” Did Anand rise to the occasion? “I’m grateful to him, yes. He does the diaper changes and feeding. On the nights I have to stay up late or be away working, he makes sure he’s around so I don’t feel as bad.” Isha Ambani and her husband Anand Piramal tied the knot in 2018. The couple welcomed their twins- Aadiya and Krishna in 2022. Last year, in November, the couple hosted a grand first birthday party for the twins in Mumbai. The celebration was attended by members of the film industry as well including Katrina Kaif, Kiara Advani, Karisma Kapoor, Ananya Panday, Shah Rukh Khan, Aditya Roy Kapur and Karan Johar with his twins Yash and Roohi.

Father’s Day 2024: Sumeet Raghavan advocates celebrating family every day

Sarabhai vs Sarabhai actor Sumeet Raghavan is a devoted son both on-screen and off-screen. The actor, who is ready to go to great lengths for his family, has very different views on celebrating special days assigned for mothers, fathers, or any other relationship. As Father's Day approached, in an exclusive chat with midday.com, Sumeet shares that he believes it is not right to assign a day to any relation. Rather, he thinks that we should celebrate these bonds every day. The actor, while talking about the concept of special days, shared, “I give more importance to the family than to family day. I give more importance to the mother than to Mother's Day. Days keep coming and going. I think every day should be a family day. Every day should be Father's Day. I don't want to sound like a typical cliché, but I really don't think that we should assign a day for love, like Valentine's Day, or any other day. I mean, why do we need a day to celebrate?” He further continued and talked about Indian society and their family values. “Being Indians, we are so much into families. Whenever we talk about Indian society, we talk about family. We talk about values. We talk about mother, father, children, you know. This is the crux of a healthy society,” Raghavan added. Further in the conversation, Sumeet recalled his good old days when he used to visit his nani’s (maternal grandmother’s) house. Sumeet stated, “I feel that we should hold on to these values. I have been saying this for the last 30-40 years: everyone is getting separated. When kids grow up, they are out on their own, and parents are somewhere else, which is fine. But the days of joint families were something different. I remember as a child when I used to go to my nani's house, it used to be like a circus. Everyone was there—my uncles, my aunts, and their kids. We used to have a blast. This has disappeared somewhere. But I still feel that we should always be connected." Later, when we asked him about his show Wagle Ki Duniya, which will complete its 1000th episode, Sumeet shared, "Well, Wagle Ki Duniya is a very difficult proposition. It's not easy. The stories here change after every two days, after every two episodes. So, if we talk about 1000 episodes, then till today, we have given at least 700-750 fresh stories to the audience, which is not a joke. And to come up with stories, day in and day out, is a tough job." For more such interesting updates about your favourite actors and shows, stay tuned to mid-day.com.
