Background
Gauahar and Zaid, the son of music composer Ismail Darbar, got engaged in November 2020 and married a month later on December 25. They became parents for the first time in May 2023 when Zehaan was born, following Gauahar's pregnancy announcement in December 2022. Earlier this year, in April 2025, Gauahar revealed she was expecting their second child.
The actress has been candid about the difficulties she faced on her path to motherhood, including a miscarriage prior to conceiving Zehaan.
Speaking to Debina Bonnerjee, she said, "I think this was the right time for something like this, and I was 36 when I got married. We knew we had to start trying for a child within a year. I had a miscarriage before, and it took me at least 1 to 1.5 years to recover from that and to be able to tell myself that 'okay, let's try.' When I conceived my son Zehaan, everything went smoothly."
With the birth of their second son, the couple embraces a new chapter in their lives.
