Gauahar Khan criticises Suniel Shetty's C-section remark, reveals she suffered a miscarriage: ‘For a male celebrity who didn't go through pregnancy…'
Suniel Shetty faced criticism for his recent remarks where he lauded daughter Athiya Shetty opting for a natural delivery instead of C-section, calling the latter procedure easy and comfortable. He later clarified that his words were taken out of context and apologised to women for his comments. Now, actor Gauahar Khan, who is expecting her second child with husband Zaid Darbar currently, called out the veteran actor's comments. She also opened up about suffering a miscarriage before the birth of her son.
She recently launched her own YouTube podcast MaaaNoranjan, to discuss subjects like pregnancy, embracing motherhood, and much more. In the first episode, Gauahar revealed that she had a C-section delivery for her first baby Zehaan, and also suffered a miscarriage before that. 'There's one thing I never told everyone. I did have a miscarriage before Zehaan. What should I tell you about that feeling? It's impossible to describe it. It was a pregnancy, I lost the baby after almost 9 weeks. That loss was extremely difficult. And I'll be able to talk about it more in upcoming episodes,' she said.

The actor looked quite emotional while speaking about Shetty's remark when he appreciated his daughter for not undergoing a C-section. She said, 'A what? I want to like scream at the top of my voice and say, 'How could you say that? Like how?' There are so many myths around this topic – that if someone is having a C-section, it's the easier option. How can there be so much misinformation? And for a male celebrity to say that, who didn't go through pregnancy, didn't carry a child, doesn't know how painful C-section is.'

It all started when earlier in an interview with News18, Suniel Shetty said, 'In a world where everybody wants the comfort of having a caesarean baby, she chose not to do that and had a natural delivery. I remember how every nurse and paediatrician in the hospital said that it's unbelievable how she went through the whole process. That hit me as a father. I was like, 'Wow, she's ready!' Athiya was very, very strong to do that.'
Gauahar Khan and Zaid Darbar tied the knot in 2020. The couple welcomed their first child, son Zehaan, in 2023. They are now expecting their second baby and recently announced the good news with an adorable video on social media.

Ludhiana West bypoll in Punjab: Bharat Bhushan Ashu team creates social media content using emotions not professionals.
Ludhiana: In an election season where parties burn through lakhs to craft viral content, Congress candidate Bharat Bhushan Ashu is taking a different route — relying on a team of loyal supporters, not professional consultants, to power his online campaign. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now A group of seven long-time associates, most of whom learned social media tricks from YouTube, have taken charge of Ashu's digital presence — producing catchy songs and satirical videos aimed at his political opponents, all free of charge. Among the group's recent viral hits are songs skewering Aam Aadmi Party candidate Sanjeev Arora and AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal. With lyrics like "Arora nai si ladna chaunda, dhakke naal ladaya ae" and "Nai kursi deyange, sara le jawage Delhi nu maal", the content has gained traction locally for its colloquial punch and emotional tone. Only one team member — editor Narinder Singh — is a professional. The rest, including Jassi Sekhon, Tarun Sharma, Sunny Juneja, Bobby Singla, Anup Singh, and Sunny Thakur, contribute as lyricists, composers, and content planners, all without pay. "We've been with Ashu ji since 2012. He's like an elder brother," said Sekhon. "Social media has changed the political game, and we're simply using what we've learned to support him. " Tarun Sharma added that their efforts are powered more by sentiment than strategy. "We aren't professionals, but we believe heartfelt content cuts through better than polished campaigns," he said. Ashu acknowledged that his party had initially considered hiring professionals, but chose to stick with his old team. "These are people I've built relationships with over the years. They're doing this purely out of emotion, and I value that more than any agency," he said. While other campaigns flaunt costly creatives and influencer tie-ups, Ashu's strategy underscores a grassroots approach to digital campaigning — one built not on budgets, but bonds.
