Kanishka also shared a video of herself from the swimming pool. She said in the video, “Hi guys I am a self-married, and now as per rumours, also self-pregnant who is in the swimming pool, focussing on keeping myself fit and fine.”
In a recent interview with Aaj Tak, Kanishka said, “My mom started laughing when she came to know about the reports. She said the technology is so advanced these days that I can get self pregnant. In fact, the rest of family also laughed off the matter. They even said they'd be okay if I ever decide to get self pregnant.”
She added, “I have always wanted a child with green or blue eyes. I wish for a blue-eyed foreigner child, and there is nothing wrong with it. My family is okay with it. I have heard a lot (taunts) because of my wheatish complexion, I want a fair child. Two men broke up with me because of my skin colour. Now, I can get the child I wish. I will definitely not go for surrogacy, I am fit enough to have my own child. I will consider this plan when I am more financially stable."

Ever since, she has spoken a lot about the reasons behind her choice and how gender disparity triggered it. Kanishka is best known for her performance in the populr TV show Diya Aur Baati Hum.
