Gauahar Khan, making a triumphant return to television after giving birth to her baby boy Zehaan, shares her journey of working tirelessly until the eighth month of her pregnancy. In an exclusive chat with ETimes TV, Gauahar opens up about a touching incident involving Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh and expresses her gratitude for landing work soon after becoming a mother.
Gauahar, who worked extensively during her pregnancy, revealed, “I have worked till the second trimester, 7 months during my pregnancy. I was traveling till eight months of my pregnancy, shooting non-stop for action web series, and hosting shows worldwide. Hosting is my first love, and I just love live events.”
She narrates a heartwarming gesture by Ranveer Singh, who, amazed by her dedication, met her at live events while she was heavily pregnant. Gauahar shares, “During that time, Ranveer Singh met me back-to-back for three or four live events, and he was just amazed. He held my stomach, said a little prayer for my baby, and told the baby how he must be like his mother when he comes out. I got so emotional when he was doing that. Mashallah. It was so beautiful to know that people appreciate the fact that you can be strong, beautiful, and glamorous even when you are pregnant.”
Expressing gratitude for the industry’s progressive thinking, Gauahar acknowledges, “It is a very hopeful and grateful phase for me. I am thankful to God that there are people in the industry ready to break barriers and offer work to artists based on their talent. I would like to congratulate the production house and the channel who have progressive thinking. Even a lot of producers and directors are doing this,” she concluded.
