Soha Ali Khan, a writer and Bollywood actor, just released her podcast, All About Her.

She opened up to actor Sunny Leone and fertility specialist Dr. Kiran Coehlo about her infertility journey in the second episode. When she was 35, she remembered being told that she was "too old" to freeze her eggs.

In her podcast, Soha explored the emotional, social, and medical facets of adoption and surrogacy while getting candid and intimate with Sunny and Dr. Kiran.

On the episode, Soha recalled, “I was 35 when I went to a gynaecologist and said wanted to freeze my eggs. She told me I was already very old. Everyone else said I was so young, but she added, your ovaries can’t see your face. That stayed with me for a very long time.”

The doctor on the podcast added a different perspective when she said, “There are so many factors. Today, we have reliable fertility tests, Anti-Müllerian Hormone, and on the second day of the period, an antral follicle count. Taken together, these help predict fertility over the coming years. The ideal age is between 28 and 34.”

Sunny also talked about surrogacy and how she and her husband, Daniel Weber, "paid so much money" to their surrogate in the episode that will be available on YouTube on August 29.
