While the couple was always inclined to have another baby, certain health complications with Shetty proved to be a major hurdle.

Shilpa in her recent conversation with Pinkvilla revealed her history with miscarriages that prompted her to seek a different way out. "After Viaan, I did want to have another child for the longest time. But I suffered from an autoimmune disease called APLA and that came into play every time I get pregnant. So I had a couple of miscarriages so it was a genuine issue," she revealed when asked about the reason for surrogacy.

The Hungama 2 actress further mentioned her adoption plans that never got fulfilled. "At a time when I wanted to adopt, I had put in my name and everything was underway. But then, the Christian missionary shut down because they had a tiff with Cara. I waited for nearly four years and then, I had honestly given up on the thought of another child" she recalled. The couple ultimately opted for surrogacy and were glad to welcome their second child, a daughter in this world.
While the actress took a long sabbatical after the birth of her baby boy, she plans on implementing the same, now that Samisha needs her attention.
