While the whole world knows about adoptions by Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, there are many celebrities closer home, who have adopted children and continue to inspire everyone around the world.
Some have even gone to get their adopted children married and help them settle and live a happy life. While adoption is an option for couples who are unable to have biological children, these celebrities have gone ahead despite of having biological kids or being able to have biological kids.
Here we shall take a look at the 10 Indian celebrities who have adopted kids:
Sunny Leone and Daniel Weber: Actor Sunny Leone and husband Daniel Weber are proud parent of a 21-month girl Nisha from Latur in Maharashtra.

The couple without caring about the world, happily adopted Nisha, without looking at her background, colour, and health status.
