Mahhi Vij talked about her emotional journey of wanting kids early and starting her IVF journey.
Actor Mahhi Vij opened up about how she and her husband, Jay Bhanushali, were not on the same page when it came to having children. In a recent interview, Mahhi said that she was ready for motherhood early on in their marriage and had even started her IVF journey, while Jay wanted more time.
In a conversation with Debina Bonnerjee on her podcast, Mahhi Vij said that she started the IVF process when she was 32. She said that she wanted 4-5 children initially, but Jay wasn’t ready for it. She talked about how she decided to save her eggs. She said, “Mere saath aisa hai ki agar nahi ho raha hai toh chapter close karo, aage badho. Uspe sulk karne se acha next chapter pe jao, jo hai IVF. I started my IVF journey at the age of 32, toh maine apne eggs save karne start kar diye the. Mera toh aisa tha meri jab shaadi hui thi tab hi maine Jay ko bola tha I want a baby. Mujhe toh actually 4-5 bache chahiye the, but he was not ready for it. And then I said I am going to save my eggs, maine apne eggs save kiye and maine try bhi kiya tha but do baar IVF fail ho gaya… aur eggs bhi khatam ho gaye the.”
In the same interview, Mahhi mentioned that she underwent the egg retrieval procedure twice. She continued, “Maine do baar kiya tha egg retrieval, I went through a lot of pain. Matlab, ek time pe toh main admit bhi hui thi ek dinn ke liye because mujhe bahut bleeding ho rahi thi. Fir wapas se jo third wala kiya, maine kaha ab main try nahi karungi main save kar ke rakhungi. I was like, ab rukk jaate hain. Main humesha bolti hu jab time hai jiska aur jiski kismat jo likha hai woh hona hi hai. Agar 45 mein bhi hona ho toh ho jayega. Then I tried when I was 36, kahi na kahi mujhe tha ki yeh positive aayega, aur positive aaya toh I was like, I was just crying.”
The couple has two foster kids, Rajveer and Khushi. They welcomed their biological daughter, Tara, in 2019.
