Gauahar Khan is married to content creator Zaid Darbar, who is the son of famous music director Ismail Darbar. And in a shocking twist, it is being revealed that the actress’s father-in-law is not fond of her working after marriage and children. While giving an example of his second wife, Ayesha, he said that she, too, left a promising career to start a family with him. Though he said that he did not have the right to dictate Gauahar’s life, her son and husband do.
Ismail Darbar About Gauahar Khan
During a recent chat with Vickey Lalwani, Ismail Darbar said that Gauahar Khan had a wonderful relationship with his son, Zaid Darbar, and praised her as a mother. He said that the greatest thing that his second wife, Ayesha, did was stop working for their children’s sake. “She was making Rs 5 lakh a month through shows at the time, and was also getting acting offers. But she never turned around and said that she wants to sing or perform,” said the music director.
Even when Darbar needed money, his wife never offered to earn it for him. When asked if he saw his daughter-in-law working, he said that since they came from a backward society, they were never comfortable with sensuous scenes in films, and now that Gauahar too was a part of their family, they were responsible for her reputation too. Ismail Darbar said that though he cannot ask her to stop working, his son, Zaid, can. He said that he would confront them if they did something he couldn’t tolerate.
Gauahar Khan married Zaid Darbar in 2020, after he pursued her. Zaid was twenty years old at the time. They had their first child, a son named Zehaan, in 2023. Earlier this year, they had their second son. Ismail’s older son, Awez, just appeared on Bigg Boss 19.
