Gauahar Khan, the Indian actress, model, and winner of Bigg Boss 7, is currently expecting her second child with her husband, Zaid Darbar. The couple, who married in December 2020 and welcomed their first child, Zehaan, in May 2023, recently announced their second pregnancy. Gauahar has been open about her experiences, sharing both the joys and challenges of this new chapter in her life.
In a recent interview, Gauahar revealed that this pregnancy feels different from her first. "It is very different. Each pregnancy is different," she said. Despite having gone through it before, she admits to feeling equally nervous this time around. "You still wonder whether you are doing everything right. I feel like I'm going through it for the first time," she shared. However, she also expressed her excitement and joy, stating, "I am excited, elated, and overjoyed… you get to experience the same feelings again".
Gauahar has also spoken about the physical changes she's experiencing during her second pregnancy. "I think mei XL hoh gayi hu," she said, acknowledging the weight gain that comes with pregnancy. However, she remains positive and grateful for this phase of her life. "Har baar umeed hoti hai ki aapko shadi karni hai, bachei karne hai, kitne bachei karne hai. Career bhi sambhalna hai, kaam bhi karna hai. Allahdullilah jab sari cheeze possible hoti hai, then there is no other feeling other than just being grateful. I am extremely grateful for every phase of my life," she shared.
Despite the challenges, Gauahar is determined to continue working throughout her pregnancy. She revealed that she shot action scenes until her fourth month during her first pregnancy and plans to do the same this time around. "Work-wise, I will continue until I can," she asserted. She also shared that she was pregnant while shooting the climax of her series Fauji 2. Balancing work and motherhood is important to Gauahar, and she credits her supportive husband and family for making it possible.
Gauahar and Zaid's relationship began in 2020, when they met at a grocery store during the COVID-19 lockdown. Their friendship quickly blossomed into a romantic relationship, and they tied the knot in December of the same year. The couple has often spoken about their strong bond and mutual respect for each other. Gauahar has mentioned that Zaid is her biggest support system, especially during her pregnancies. "If I need my calm, I call Zaid. He's my biggest support," she said.
Gauahar has also opened up about how motherhood has changed her perspective. She shared that it has made her more patient and has given her a greater appreciation for her own mother. "We just take mothers for granted. Mothers are just something else, and you realise that only when you become a mother," she explained.
Gauahar Khan's journey through her second pregnancy is a testament to her strength, resilience, and unwavering spirit. She continues to inspire many with her ability to balance her career, family, and personal well-being while embracing all the joys and challenges that life brings.
