Akansha on egg-freezing journey
In her post, Akansha wrote, “Yesterday I froze my eggs!! I really didn’t plan on sharing, but today feels like the right day to say this. The female body is EXTRAORDINARY. The last two weeks were intense. Injecting myself with fat needles every day, hormones doing their thing, the bloating, the mood swings, the endless scans, the meds, the IV drip, and finally the surgery (sic).”
“But all I want to say is women are Bad***** and how in awe I am of how wonderfully intelligent and capable our bodies are,” she continued.
Actor shares recovery update
The actor offered additional insight into the photos she posted. Explaining the second image, she said, “The second pic is from today- dressing for the job I want. Athletic and getting back to my routine.. even though I could barely manage a 20-minute wobble around my building. But honestly, that felt like enough! Because this body just did something pretty amazing. Happy Women’s Day,” she wrote.

Her egg-freezing journey received immediate support from peers and family. Actor Vaani Kapoor commented, “Big love for you my girl,” while Akansha’s sister Anushka Ranjan responded, “Aww my strong girl.”
