Actress Debina Bonnerjee discusses how filmmaker Farah Khan’s public account of IVF and motherhood influenced her during her own infertility struggle. Across multiple outlets, Bonnerjee links the availability of real-life, hopeful examples to the ability to keep trying when outcomes feel uncertain.
The reports also place Bonnerjee’s comments within a wider conversation about motherhood after 40, including caution against romanticising later pregnancies while still emphasising that positive stories can help people feel they have a chance. Bonnerjee describes how she struggled to imagine a favourable outcome until she saw Farah Khan speaking openly about her journey.
In one outlet’s coverage, the story expands beyond infertility to include postpartum experiences, including the emotional impact of body-shaming comments and frustration when weight or appearance changes after childbirth are publicly criticised.
