Gauahar Khan on dealing with miscarriage
During a conversation with Debinna Bonnerjee in her podcast, Gauahar shared her emotional experience of losing her first pregnancy. Gauahar shared that after her marriage at 36, she and Zaid aimed to start a family within a year. She admitted that it took over one year for her to deal with the miscarriage.
Looking back, she said, “At that point you assume that everything is going to be fine, and no one had expected me to lose my child. It was extremely difficult, and it took me some time to get over it, so by the time I gave birth to Zehaan, I was already 39, and if I wanted another child, it was now or never.”
Gauahar revealed that she didn't take a break from work during her pregnancy, sharing, “I was working throughout my first pregnancy, and during the first three months of both these pregnancies, I was shooting for an action role. This time around I was blasting bombs while shooting the finale of Fauji 2 in Pune. If I am in the middle of a shoot, I can’t be unprofessional in my duties as an actor. The action directors are very accommodating, and they shoot the scenes accordingly.”
