Anurag Bishnoi, embryologist and owner of the National Fertility and Test Tube Baby centre in Hisar, India performed the treatment.

Bishnoi said he was initially reluctant to perform the procedure due to Kaur’s age and since she looked frail.

After a series of medical tests, including cardio tests, showed she was fit and healthy, and the risk to her health of ptregnancy was no higher than if she was middle-aged.
