Shruti Haasan says she is open to adoption
Speaking on Soha Ali Khan’s podcast All About Her, Shruti recalled being told when she was around 14 that PCOS could make it difficult for her to conceive. For years, she believed motherhood might not be possible for her. However, a later conversation with her gynaecologist, Dr Dhrupti Dedhia, changed how she looked at the situation.
Shruti said she told her doctor that she was even open to adoption because she “would really love to just be a mum.” At the same time, she said she would like to try for a biological child as well.

Instead, she explained that there were different options and that they could discuss them whenever Shruti felt ready. The actor said seeing reports about Cameron Diaz becoming a mother later in life also gave her hope. She said her doctor’s approach helped her understand that having PCOS did not automatically mean she could not become a mother.
