The definition of family is changing in today’s world. A family is just not just parents and the kids they birth (along with their parents, siblings, and others), but it also includes the kids one adopts or welcomes into the world via surrogacy.
While people live having kids of their own, and giving birth to them themselves, at times due to medical complications or even age, that’s not possible. At such times, parents opt for surrogacy or adoption. Many Bollywood celebrities – some married and others not – are now experiencing the joys of parenthood by welcoming their offspring through surrogacy.
Today, as news of Preity Zinta and Gene Goodenough becoming parents thanks to surrogacy make the headlines, we tell you about others Bollywood stars who have followed a similar path to welcome their kid(s).

Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan were already parents to Aryan Khan and Suhana Khan when they opted for surrogacy for their third. This Bollywood couple welcomed AbRam Khan in May 2013 and since then he has become a star in his own right.
Like Shah Rukh Khan, even Aamir Khan was a father of two – Junaid and Ira – when he welcomed his third. While his first two kids were born to him and his first wife Reena naturally, Aamir and Kiran Rao opted for IVF surrogacy for Azad Khan Rao. The couple opted for this as Kiran had earlier suffered a miscarriage and there were complications.
