In the first image, she questioned ways of the society. She wrote:
Is it wrong for a woman to marry for love instead of giving in to societal pressure?
Is it wrong for her to wait until she finds the right partner?
Is it wrong for a woman to choose when she wants to have children based on her own circumstances?
Is it wrong for a woman to set her goals and focus on her career rather than only thinking of marriage or having children early?
In the next image, Upasana shared her personal story of balancing personal and professional life.
"I married for love and companionship at 27 — a choice I made on my own terms. At 29, I decided to freeze my eggs for personal and health reasons, something I’ve always spoken about openly to encourage other women to explore their options. (for the record it wasn't at Apollo) I welcomed my first child at 36 and am now expecting twins at 39," she wrote.
She further said, "Throughout my journey, I have given equal importance to building my career and nurturing my marriage, because a happy, stable environment matters deeply when raising a family.
She added, "For me, marriage and career are not competing priorities — they are equally meaningful parts of a fulfilled life. But I decide the timeline!
That's not privilege it's my right".
Upasana's advice to young women
Upasana took to her X handle to share a video where she mentioned, "The biggest insurance for women is to save your eggs. Because then, you can choose when to get married, when you want to have kids on your own terms, when you are financially independent."
"Today, I stand on my own feet. I earn a living for myself. I am proudly financially independent. This security made me strong and confident to make bold decisions in my life. Do things that work the best for you. Before you reach your 30s, have your goals ready, have your path set and know how much you’re going to earn at every different point in your life. Earn wealth-wise, health-wise and relationship-wise. If you’re clear about your vision, goal and role in life, you become unstoppable," she added.
