I'll be looking after their entire upbringing from education to food, clothes etc. You've no idea how wonderful it feels to hear the excited chatter of all these girls together. These are my children now, my responsibility. I'll be constantly connected with them and I'll visit them twice a year." Preity had earlier shared that she was personally involved in providing for their schooling, nutrition, and clothing. She revealed that speaking with the girls moved her deeply. At the time, she had expressed a strong desire to visit them biannually. She also admitted that she often felt troubled by the harsh realities faced by girls from less privileged backgrounds. The alarming stories of female foeticide and children growing up in harmful environments had shaken her. It had inspired her to begin this journey, and she had made it clear that this was just the beginning—she hoped to adopt more children in the years ahead. The actress had announced the arrival of her twins through surrogacy in November 2021. Preity is now set to make her comeback to the movies with 'Lahore 1947' co-starring Sunny Deol.
