With all gusto, Farhan Akhtar announced his first directorial in 10 years, Jee Le Zaraa, a film on female bonding that brings three leading stars together for the first time- Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif, and Alia Bhatt. However, the first name might opt out of the film as she has just embraced motherhood. The actress and her husband Nick Jonas recently welcomed a baby girl through surrogacy and Chopra wishes to devote all her time to the newborn.

A source told Bollywood Hungama, "But now with her motherhood Priyanka wants to devote her time end energy to the baby, at least for now." However, no confirmation about the same has been made.

Soon after the couple announced the news of becoming parents, social media users showered them with good wishes. "Congratulations," actor Lara Dutta Bhupathi commented. "Omg. This is so special...big big congratulations. Best news," producer Guneet Monga wrote.

Priyanka and Nick tied the knot in December 2018 after dating for a while.

However, a section of social media users started trolling the couple, quipping that Priyanka opted for a surrogate mother to avoid pregnancy pain.

"I wish @priyankachopra and @nickjonas congratulations #Priyankachopra #NickJonas #surrogacy But Isn't it became a trend for the rich to opt this methodThinking face? However these method were developed to help those who had complications," a Twitter user wrote.

A social media user wrote, "How do those mothers feel when they get their readymade babies through surrogacy? Do they have the same feelings for the babies like the mothers who give birth to the babies?"

PeeCee fans also came out in support of the stars and urged everyone to respect their privacy.

"How shameless some people are for judging an actress for having a baby via #surrogacy ! There are many women who aren't able to carry a baby naturally for various reasons- one of them being conceiving at a later age(late 30s..there may be complications during the pregnancy)," a social media user wrote.

A user tweeted, "Not only is it insensitive to call them "ready-made babies", but also let's not judge women who want to adopt motherhood through #surrogacy. I know of many biological mothers who don't feel the bond with their children!"
