Bollywood actor Tusshar Kapoor recently turned to Twitter to show off his new baby to the world — who was born via surrogacy.
The practice is unheard of for single parents in that part of the entertainment realm, but in Hollywood, it's more common.
Here are six other celebs who opted for single parenthood through a surrogate pregnancy.

During the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Ronaldo’s son was born to an unknown surrogate mother in the United States. As soon as Spain booted Portugal from the tournament, Ronaldo was on the first flight to meet his newborn.
The soccer player allegedly paid up to $10 million to keep the biological mother’s identity a secret. He now has sole custody of Cristiano Jr.
