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.
