Egg freezing is the process of collecting a woman’s eggs from the ovaries, freezing them at very low temperatures and storing them for future use. Many couples nowadays choose to put a pause on their baby plans to focus on their careers, travel plans, and more. In such instances, egg freezing comes as an empowering solution for many women to secure their chances of getting pregnant in future without jeopardising their plans for the present.

On the work front, Akansha was most recently seen in the Prime Video series Gram Chikitsalay, which was released last year. In the show, she played Dr Gargi. She also had a supporting role in Alia Bhatt-starrer Jigra.
