Kriti Sanon’s Weight-Gain Diary For ‘Mimi’ Had A Secret Second Chapter

Kriti Sanon just revealed a decision she quietly made years ago — one that had nothing to do with acting, yet everything to do with control. While transforming her body for Mimi, she was also freezing her eggs, timing the two life-changing processes together in a way only she could’ve pulled off.

The Story Behind The Timing

Speaking on the Humans of Bombay podcast, Kriti explained that gaining 15 kilograms to play a surrogate mother in Mimi required a two-month break from filming — a window with nothing on the calendar except eating and waiting. She realized the hormone injections needed for egg freezing cause noticeable bloating, so instead of dreading two separate rounds of physical change, she merged them into one.

“I froze my eggs. Very smartly, I did it during that time when I had to gain weight for Mimi,” she shared, adding that since she was “anyway gaining weight,” the timing simply made sense.

Why She Chose To Do It At All

Kriti didn’t shy away from the emotional cost either, admitting the hormones left her feeling almost as moody as a pregnant woman — fitting, given the film’s subject. But she was equally clear-eyed about her privilege, acknowledging that not everyone can afford the procedure.

For Kriti, this wasn’t about postponing motherhood — the science behind egg freezing, or oocyte cryopreservation, exists precisely to give people that choice. It was about removing pressure. “I don’t want to have that [biological clock stress] in my head,” she said, adding that decisions like marriage and kids should come from readiness, not a ticking clock.

Kriti’s openness marks a rare moment where a Bollywood star candidly discusses fertility planning — a conversation that’s slowly becoming less taboo in Indian entertainment circles.
