Two & Done? Does IVF Guarantee Pregnancy? | Anushka Ranjan & Dr. Nandita Palshetkar

ALL ABOUT HER with Soha Ali Khan ft. Anushka Ranjan & Dr. Nandita Palshetkar | IVF, Fertility, Egg Freezing, AI & The Future of Motherhood What if the way we become parents is changing but the way we talk about fertility hasn’t changed with it? In this episode of All About Her, we step into the rapidly evolving world of fertility and reproductive medicine. From IVF and IUI to egg freezing, embryo technology and AI, science has opened up possibilities that were unimaginable just a few decades ago. But alongside these advancements come questions around age, choice, success, cost, expectations and the stigma that still surrounds assisted reproduction. Joining the conversation is Anushka Ranjan Kapoor, actor, model and producer, who is currently expecting after conceiving through IVF. She opens up about her personal journey from deciding when she was ready to embrace motherhood, to the physical and emotional realities of IVF, the support of her family, the experience of finding out she was expecting twins, and how the journey changed the way she looked at her own body. Alongside her is Dr. Nandita Palshetkar, one of India’s pioneers in reproductive medicine, who has spent over three decades at the forefront of IVF and fertility science. She helps us understand what IVF actually involves, when it may be recommended, how egg and embryo quality matter, and how advancements such as ICSI, genetic testing, embryo freezing, AI and newer technologies are transforming fertility treatment. Together, they explore a side of fertility that often gets lost behind the statistics the emotional toll of IVF, the pressure women experience around age and motherhood, the question of “natural kyun nahi hua?”, the role of male infertility, the financial realities of treatment, and why fertility should never be viewed as a woman’s responsibility alone. We also look beyond IVF to ask what the future of fertility could look like. How is AI changing reproductive medicine? What can egg freezing realistically offer? How much can technology improve IVF success rates? And as fertility science continues to advance, are we finally becoming more comfortable with choosing the path that works for us? At its heart, this episode is about replacing judgement with understanding. Because there is no single right way to become a parent. And perhaps the real advancement isn’t only happening inside the fertility lab — it’s happening when we give women the freedom to make informed choices about their own bodies, their own timelines and their own journeys to motherhood. If you’re navigating fertility yourself, considering your options, supporting someone who is, or simply want to understand how science is changing the way we build families, this conversation is for you. #AllAboutHer #SohaAliKhan #AnushkaRanjanKapoor #DrNanditaPalshetkar #IVF #Fertility #IVFTreatment #EggFreezing #IUI #ICSI #FertilityAwareness #ReproductiveHealth #Motherhood #Infertility #WomensHealth #FertilityScience #AI #MentalHealth #Pregnancy #Podcast #AllAboutHerPodcast 📍 Whoppl Studios —————————————————————— Chapter titles 0:00 Upcoming 1:40 Introduction 3:09 Meet Anushka Ranjan 4:17 Meet Dr. Nandita Palshetkar 4:45 Why 35–40 Weeks of Pregnancy Matters 9:45 When Did IVF Become Part of Anushka’s Journey? 16:36 What Exactly Is IVF & When Should You Consider It? 23:19 When IVF Isn’t Just About Female Infertility 26:16 150 Injections?!
