Gauahar Khan Shares Her Journey of Motherhood at 39

Actress Gauahar Khan has opened up about her emotional journey through pregnancy, miscarriage, and how she continued working through it all. Speaking on Debina Bonnerjee’s podcast, Gauahar revealed that although she is now expecting her second child, it is actually her third pregnancy, as she earlier suffered a miscarriage that deeply affected her.

She shared, “I feel extremely blessed to be able to conceive again at this age. I always wanted to have more than one child, but losing my first baby was heartbreaking. It took me nearly 1 to 1.5 years to heal emotionally before I could even think of trying again.”

Married at 36, Determined to Start a Family

Gauahar got married at the age of 36, and she and her husband planned to start a family soon after. When she got pregnant the first time, she assumed everything would go smoothly. Unfortunately, she lost the child unexpectedly.

“It was extremely difficult,” she said. “By the time I delivered my son Zehaan, I was already 39 years old, and I knew that if I wanted a second child, it was now or never.”

She Continued Working Through All Her Pregnancies

Despite personal challenges, Gauahar never took a break from her career. She revealed that she was shooting action roles during both of her recent pregnancies, including the early months.

“During my first pregnancy, I was filming action scenes for a project. Even now, while expecting again, I shot the finale of Fauji 2 in Pune, which included bomb blast sequences,” Gauahar said.

She credited the action directors for adjusting scenes to accommodate her condition, but emphasized that she never compromised on her professional responsibilities as an actor.

She Was Pregnant While Shooting Action Scenes

Recalling her first pregnancy, Gauahar revealed that she was shooting the series Shiksha Mandal during that time, which involved demanding action scenes like horse riding. Just a month after finishing those intense scenes, she suffered the miscarriage.

“It’s strange, but every time I get pregnant, I end up filming high-action roles. That’s just how things work out,” she shared.
