Gauahar Khan opens up about her miscarriage during her first pregnancy, revealing the emotional toll it took on her mental health.
Gauahar Khan is currently awaiting the birth of her second child with husband Zaid Darbar. Gauahar, who is a mother to a two-year-old son, Zehaan, recently opened up about going through a difficult phase after experiencing a miscarriage during her first pregnancy and revealed that it took a toll on her.
During a conversation with Debina Bonnerjee, the actress shared that since she got married at the age of 36, the couple decided to start a family within a year. However, she faced a miscarriage during her first pregnancy and revealed, '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. She shared that she was shooting Shiksha Mandal when she was pregnant with her first child and did all the action scenes, only to lose her baby just a month later.
In April this year, Gauahar Khan and husband Zaid Darbar announced their second pregnancy. The couple shared the news with an adorable Instagram reel, and love soon poured in from their industry peers.
Earlier, while speaking to News18 Showsha, she revealed that though she has been through this experience once before, the second pregnancy has brought with it a fresh set of challenges.
'I can't say that I'm more chill this time around. My second pregnancy is more difficult. Each pregnancy is very different, and what you feel each time is different. There are too many myths surrounding pregnancy, but the whole experience is very personal, and it differs from one woman to another. You can't say that yeh hi hota hai toh yeh hi hoga," she told us.
While emotional pangs are part and parcel of every pregnancy, Gauahar drew attention to how her second pregnancy is also physically more laborious. 'This time, I think there's a little more effort, unlike the first time when I was doing things a little more effortlessly," she added.
For the unversed, Gauahar and Zaid tied the knot in December 2020. They first met at a grocery store during the COVID-19 lockdown and later, Zaid reached out to her on social media.
