Randeep Hooda wanted a child via surrogacy, his father changed his mind

Surrogacy seems to be the new trend with Bollywood. More and more people are opting for babies via surrogacy. The newest entry to this group would be actor Randeep Hooda.

Following the trend, Randeep Hooda too wants to join the single parents’ league though surrogacy. However, his father changed his mind.

In an interview with Hindustan Times the actor said, “I thought about having my own child through surrogacy. I even discussed this with my parents and they were okay with this thought and idea.”

However, his father later advised him against the idea. The actor shared, “My dad said, ‘Beta, bachc­hon ko maa ki za­roorat hoti hai (a child needs a mother). How are you go­ing to man­age that? Do you want your child to be de­prived of a mother?’ I said ‘No’. I would rather wait for the right time to get mar­ried and have a child, who would get both par­ents to love him/her.”

Randeep revealed that his parents were constantly trying to convince him to get married and start a family. “Oh yes, my par­ents put that pres­sure all the time. My mom sneak­ily shows me the pic­tures of girls who have sent mar­riage pro­pos­als, though I don’t think it is go­ing to hap­pen any­time soon,” he laughed, adding, “But then, you never know what hap­pens next.”

For now, films are enough to make Randeep happy. “With act­ing, my life is com­plete. I’m in a re­la­tion­ship with my work and my love for an­i­mals and so­cial work are just an ex­ten­sion to my per­son­al­ity. I’m very in­volved in it and all these re­quire my com­plete at­ten­tion,” he said.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Randeep will soon start shooting for Imtiaz Ali’s next, which features Kartik Aaryan and Sara Ali Khan in the lead roles.
