At that time, he had told news agency IANS that: ‘Initially my parents were a little bit apprehensive whether I should announce the child to be one born through IVF and surrogacy or not,’ but added that: ‘Everybody in the country has been very accepting. That was a bit surprise for me because I thought there would be diverse views, some kind of 'oohs and ahas' about it, all kinds of opinion. But nothing of that sort happened. Especially the media has been so supportive of Laksshya and my choice of having a family in this manner.’
