Gauahar Khan praises Zaid Darbar for support amid father-in-law remarks

Days after music director Ismail Darbar expressed reservations about Gauahar Khan continuing her career post-marriage and motherhood, the actor took to Instagram to share heartfelt words about her husband, Zaid Darbar. In a long note, she thanked him for bringing “calm and assurance” to her busy work life and praised his role as a husband and father.

Gauahar shared pictures and videos from their travels, family celebrations, and home moments, showcasing her bond with Zaid. She highlighted the couple’s journey together, writing, “A walk in the park, a walk on the beach, a walk through the mountains, everything and more that I wished for to experience this beautiful walk of life, with my birthday boy, my Jaanu, @zaid_darbar. Alhamdulillah, it’s exactly what I got.”

She expressed gratitude for their two sons, Zehaan and Farwaan, and appreciated Zaid’s presence as a supportive partner and father. Gauahar added, “Thank you for making my family your own, thank you for being your honest, loyal, hardworking self. May Allah bless you at every step of life. You have the biggest heart I know, most thoughtful and caring towards one and all.”

This public appreciation comes shortly after Ismail Darbar spoke about Gauahar’s career, praising her as a devoted mother but revealing his reservations about her continuing professional work. He said, “Main ye sochta hoon ki Gauahar ab humari ghar ki izzat hai toh main ab ye toh nahi bol sakta na ki tum ab kaam chhor do… Woh mera right nahi hai woh agar right hai toh Zaid ka hai,” indicating that the decision regarding her career lies with Zaid.

Gauahar Khan and Zaid Darbar tied the knot in December 2020. The couple welcomed their first child, Zehaan, in May 2023, followed by their second son, Farwaan, on September 1, 2025. Gauahar’s recent work includes appearances in Lovely Lolla and Fauji 2, maintaining her presence in the entertainment industry.

Through her social media post, Gauahar not only shared glimpses of her family life but also subtly reaffirmed her professional choices, highlighting the balance she continues to maintain between her career and personal life.
