Television actress and former Bigg Boss contestant Sambhavna Seth recently shared the deeply personal and painful experiences she has endured in her journey toward motherhood. Known for her bold and outspoken nature since her appearance in Bigg Boss Season 2, the 44-year-old actress revealed that despite multiple IVF attempts, her dream of becoming a mother has been filled with heartbreak.
Speaking on Gauahar Khan’s podcast, Sambhavna opened up about the emotional and physical toll IVF has taken on her. She revealed that she has undergone IVF six to seven times, and each attempt ended in failure. Sambhavna emphasized that people often oversimplify the IVF process, believing it to be just a matter of injections, but in reality, it’s emotionally exhausting. Her voice cracked with pain as she talked about how much she had hoped and planned for a baby — including preparing for a social media announcement after crossing the first trimester.
Alongside her struggles with fertility, Sambhavna also suffered personal losses. She lost her father, with whom she shared a deep bond, and cared for her mother who remained bedridden for five years before passing away. Adding to her sorrow, she lost her 19-year-old pet, who had been like family to her. All these events, happening around her failed IVF procedures, deeply affected her emotional well-being.
Sambhavna recalled how she experienced bleeding during pregnancy and had to go through multiple scans. Every scan up to a point showed promising signs. Confident that everything was going well, she even began planning a pregnancy announcement photoshoot. But just 15 days before her miscarriage, she began feeling unwell. She consulted her doctors, who initially attributed her symptoms to arthritis. However, her arthritis specialist suspected something more serious and warned that these symptoms could indicate an impending miscarriage. Sadly, that fear turned out to be true.
Through her story, Sambhavna has not only highlighted the physical and emotional pain of repeated IVF failures but also the need for sensitivity and better medical attention during such a fragile time. Despite all that she has faced, her courage to speak out about these deeply personal experiences is being met with support and empathy from her fans and the wider public.
