"Yesterday I froze my eggs!! I really didn't plan on sharing, but today feels like the right day to say this... the female body is EXTRAORDINARY. The last two weeks were... intense. Injecting myself with fat needles every day, hormones doing their thing, the bloating, the mood swings, the endless scans, the meds, the IV drip, and finally the surgery. But all I wanna say is - women are BADASSES... and how in awe i am of how wonderfully intelligent and capable our bodies are," the actor wrote.
Referring to a picture of herself from the post, Akansha shared how she got back to her routine, only to "barely manage a 20-minute wobble around my building."
"Because this body just did something pretty amazing. Happy Women's Day," she concluded.
In her post, Akansha shared a picture of herself from a hospital bed and another of her in athleisure.
Many reacted to the post, hailing the actor's decision, including the likes of Athiya Shetty, Shriya Pilgaonkar, and Vaani Kapoor, among others.
International Women's Day, observed globally on March 8, celebrates the achievements, leadership, and contributions of women across all spheres of life and reaffirms the collective commitment to gender equality, safety, dignity, and empowerment.
