Speaking about the IVF, Kashmera told Bombay Times, "Everything was fine with us, but we lead such stressful lives that it often becomes a matter of luck. When Krushna’s dad fell ill, we put the plan on hold for six months. It was a difficult time for us. I went through five (ovum) pick-ups and three (embryo) transfers, but all in vain.” (Also Read: Started Off With One Night-Stand And Now Parents To Twins, Krushna Opened Up About Becoming Father)
She further continued, "In a span of 10 days, I went from size two to eight. I didn’t give it a break and kept trying every month, thereby pumping myself with injections, as I didn’t have the time or luxury to wait. After all, I was not in my 20s anymore. Also, it’s a little dangerous to have a kid when you are older. It took us 13 attempts and two years of constant pain and no work to have our babies. Some people have to go through the struggle and maybe, God wanted to test us."

Kashmera Shah also revealed that they were planning to opt for adoption as well, "It’s harmful to torture your body beyond a point. It was not easy to look pregnant and not be pregnant, as these injections tend to make you bloated. We then decided that if everything failed, we would adopt a girl child." But it was the doctor and Krushna’s cousins who suggested them surrogacy. Kashmera stated, "My doctor called to tell me to decide about the next move as there were chances of a ban on surrogacy in India. So, we signed the papers and it happened."

Meanwhile, people were targeting her for opting for surrogacy because she was conscious about her figure, to which Kashmera clarified, "When an actress opts for surrogacy, people think that we are figure-conscious. But that’s not true. I know how hard it was for me. I empathise with women who are in this profession, as you don’t tend to marry or have kids early usually."

Her hubby, Krushna was quoted as saying, "Coincidentally, four days before he passed away, my father told me that he would return to us as my son. The twins were conceived on the 14th day of his demise. Krishaang reminds me of my dad because he is always smiling." He further added, "The first month was tough. We had no support from the family, barring Ragini’s (cousin Ragini Khanna) mother and my sister Arti (Singh)."
