Priyanka Chopra Jonas Having A Daughter Via Surrogacy Is None Of Your Business

A few days ago, Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Nick Jonas broke the internet with the arrival of their baby via surrogacy. They took it to their Instagram handles and wrote ‘overjoyed’.

Many directors, actors and actresses like Abhishek Bachchan, Mini Mathur, Vishal Bhardwaj, Katrina Kaif, Neha Dhupia, Joe Jonas, Lilly Singh, Octavia Spencer, Mindy Kaling, Rebel Wilson and other renowned personalities from Bollywood and Hollywood congratulated the couple.

How Netizens Reacted To Priyanka and Nick’s News

While the best wishers were thrilled to hear the news, many narrow-minded people started trolling the Matrix actress for having her daughter via surrogacy. A few even went as far as questioning her fertility.

An Instagram user wrote, “It’s amazing how celebrities don’t even want to have their own kids anymore and rather just pay for it.” The concern that trolls have put into the womb of the actress is much appreciated. However, isn’t it going a bit too far?

Even in 2022, we cannot understand that it was her personal decision. It is also the choice of the woman to give birth to a baby, adopt a baby, have a baby via surrogacyor use any other medical advancement or treatment to become a parent.

Whether surrogacyis a good practice or not is an entirely different debate than the one which questions the parents and their intentions for having a baby via this method. A few trolls schooled the actress on surrogacy and its pitfalls by calling it a baby buying industry, and others advised her that she should have adopted.

A troll went all the way to ask the actress, “but why surrogacy? Were you afraid that you would lose out on work for one year?” Haven’t we learnt anything from the past? Well! One thing is sure that a global star like Priyanka Chopra, an actress, an author, a businesswoman, a model, a singer and a producer can hardly run out of projects to work on.

The limit of trolling passed its boundaries when people questioned her motherhood. Are we that shallow? Asking a new mother whether she would love her baby or feel connected to her daughter just because she did not give birth to her? Those people must turn a few pages of Hindu mythologies and read about the relationship of Lord Krishna with his mother Yashoda.

Even in the 21st century, we base the idea of motherhood on whether a woman carries the child in her womb for nine months or if she breastfeeds the baby. If that goes true, men can never feel connected to their kids. Men do not carry the child, ergo they do not love their kids. As absurd as it sounds, parenthood lies in raising a kid, taking care of the baby and loving the child unconditionally and selflessly.

Rotating the wheel of time anticlockwise, many male celebritiesin the past opted to have kids via surrogacy with their significant other or alone. However, the world has always been kind towards men, and it continues to work out in their favour in many ways.

Surrogacy Or Adoption Are Personal Choices

We have limited motherhood to bearing the pain of giving birth and believe that it is the only right path to welcome a baby into this world. With this thought, we have again questioned the personal choice of a couple that decided to start their family on their terms.

We have no idea whatsoever about their personal lives or why they chose the path of surrogacy. Yet, we are adamant to believe that they are wrong. We are sure that Priyanka will not make a good mother. And of all, we have left no stone unturned to troll the couple and make fun of their private choice.

Without giving regard to personal freedom and liberty, women in this world are expected to bear a child and only then do they get respect and privacy. We still cannot gulp down the thought that pregnancy and parenthood are personal choices that do not have to be co-dependent.

While most of us have spent our fair share of time in a woman’s womb, we must understand our limits and get our heads out of the wombs of other women. It is certainly not for us to examine and judge whether a woman would be a good mother just because she did not choose to give birth.

We do not have any business to comment on how a woman or couple should welcome parenthood in their lives. Until then, we wish the couple our best and hope that their daughter is healthy.
