In Pic: Shilpa Shetty and Shamisha
Shilpa Shetty is the mother of two children. While Viaan was born through natural delivery, Shilpa opted for surrogacy to welcome her second child, a baby girl named Samisha. The reason behind Shilpa's decision to opt for surrogacy was due to her health condition.
After delivering Viaan, Shilpa Shetty always wanted to have another child, but because of antiphospholipid syndrome, the actress had multiple miscarriages. Finally, she decided to opt for surrogacy. In a conversation with Pinkvilla, Shilpa once shared that she never wanted Viaan to grow up as an only child.
Shilpa, while sharing her story, talked about considering adoption and said, "At that time when I wanted to adopt, I had put in my name and everything was underway, but then the Christian missionary shut down because they had a tiff with CARA."
Later, after giving up the idea of adoption, when Shilpa finally decided to opt for surrogacy, that route too was not a cakewalk for her. Shetty had lost all hope of having a second child when God blessed her with Samisha. "I waited for nearly four years, and then I was so irritated that we decided to try the surrogacy route. We had Samisha after three attempts. I had honestly given up on the thought of another child," she said.

About Antiphospholipid syndrome
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by the body's immune system mistakenly attacking normal proteins in the blood, leading to increased blood clot formation.
