My husband has a sibling and they are closely knitted with each other. I feel it is very important to have a sibling bond. I will try my best to make sure that Nihal has a sibling to share a bond like this," she was quoted as saying.
When HT asked Gul Panag if she's thinking about adoption or surrogacy, the 40-year-old actress said, "I haven't thought about that yet but I'm sure to have Nihal have a sibling. Whether it is meant to be or not meant to be is something God can decide. I would like to have my son to have a sibling. How, when, where, I think time will tell."
