She went on to say that during her IVF round, she struggled to stay happy. The 49-year-old admitted to having good and terrible days, just like everyone else. It can be difficult to always remain upbeat in real life, especially when going through a difficult moment, and she used to feel this way during my IVF treatments.

Preity eventually decided on surrogacy and welcomed her twins, Gia and Jai, in November 2021. Coming back to Preity's IVF experience, it was not simple. She had tumultuous days and found it difficult to be kind all the time. There were times when she wanted to hit her head against the wall and cry. She is quoted saying, "It was quite tough to have a positive attitude at all times. Sometimes all I wanted to do was bash my head against the wall and wail, or not speak to anyone. So certainly, it must be a balancing act for all performers."
