A doctor couple, who became parents to twins in their late 40s after successfully overcoming all age and health issues, have decided to make a movie based on their experience.
It was a difficult decision for Dr Ashok Sharma, who lost his teenage daughter due to Bronchial Asthama -- a disease he is an expert in treating -- to convince his pathologist wife to become a mother again at the age of 47.
"We lost our daughter due to Bronchial Asthama. Though, it is a curable disease but I failed to save her. It was a shock for us to lose her. After consulting many colleagues, we decided to become parents again," said 50-year-old Sharma, who is practising in Delhi.
The doctor couple are now proud parents to twin boys, who are almost six months old.
"There were many complications faced by my wife. But we overcame all difficulties and were bestowed upon by twins," said Sharma, an MD (Internal Medicine).
The couple have now decided to make a movie on becoming parents in late 40s and to explain the "unbelievable reasons and circumstances" behind their decision.
"Bollywood actors Jackie Shroff and Rati Agnihotri have already signed the proposed Hindi movie titled 'Tumhe Aana Padega Duniya Me Dobara'. The touching movie is based on true events," he said.
Ashok is now a frequent flyer to Mumbai to decide the cast and crew and complete other formalities related to the film.
"I am getting a lot of moral support from people, especially those associated with Bollywood as the proposed movie is based on a social issue. I plan to complete this film by this year end," he said.
