Karishma Mehta — yeah, the founder of Humans of Bombay — just shared something pretty personal and honestly, kind of inspiring. In one of those monthly photo dumps that people love posting, she let everyone know that she’s frozen her eggs. It’s something she said she’s been thinking about for a while, and now at 32, she finally did it.
She called it a “bucket list” kind of thing, and honestly, it sounds like it meant a lot to her. It wasn’t just a medical thing — it felt like one of those “this is my time” kind of moves. There was a photo of her lying in bed, holding someone’s hand, and you could tell — this was big. Quiet, personal, but still powerful.
A January Full of Firsts for Karishma
Karishma didn’t just stop at the egg freezing update. She actually had a lot going on in January, and she gave everyone a little peek into all of it. Like, she did her first ever ad shoot, and the fact that it was with actor Abhay Deol? That definitely got people talking. She looked super thrilled about it — kind of like a dream-come-true moment.
She also marked 11 years of running Humans of Bombay, which is wild when you think about it. That platform has told thousands of stories, and she’s been behind it all this time. On top of that, she completed a LinkedIn masterclass, so she’s clearly still learning and pushing herself professionally.
And here’s something that really stood out — she raised â‚ą20 lakh to help a rape survivor. That’s not something you just casually do. It says a lot about the kind of work she’s still committed to, even after more than a decade in the storytelling game.
A Personal Moment Shared Publicly, and With Purpose
Honestly, there’s something really relatable about the way she shared all of this. It wasn’t overly glam or dramatic — just real. She ended her post by saying, “January, you’ve been special. And I hope it has been for you too. Tell me, what’s something special that’s happened to you this month?”
It kind of made you pause for a second, you know? Like, she’s out here freezing her eggs, building her career, doing ad shoots, and also finding time to support someone in need — and then she turns around and asks how your January went. That’s a nice touch. It felt human. It felt like her.
Conclusion
Karishma’s update wasn’t just about a medical decision or a work win. It was a reminder that it’s okay to take your time with the things you’ve been meaning to do. And when you finally do them — it’s okay to be proud. Her post felt like someone stepping into their own life a little more fully. And maybe that’s what made it so worth reading
