Actor Gauahar Khan and influencer Zaid Darbar have embraced parenthood once again. The couple revealed through Instagram on Wednesday that they are now parents to a baby boy. Their older child, Zehaan, is “overjoyed” to welcome his younger brother into the family.
The announcement came with a heartwarming post featuring an illustration of a lion, a lioness, and two cubs. Alongside the picture, they wrote, “Bismillah Hir Rahmaan Nir Raheem. Zehaan is overjoyed to graciously share his kingdom with his new baby brother born on Sept 1 2025. Seeking everyone’s love and continued blessings for our elated family. Grateful and giggling parents Zaid and Gauahar.” The post was captioned simply, “Alhamdullah.”
Friends, colleagues, and admirers flooded the comments section with congratulatory messages. Swara Bhaskar wrote, “SO many congratulations Gau!” Singer Neeti Mohan added, “OMG! We are overjoyed to hear this news. Many many congratulations to all of you especially Zehaan.” Actress Dia Mirza, Sophie Choudry, Amyra Dastur, and Ayesha Khan also joined in, leaving warm wishes and emojis for the family.
Gauahar and Zaid’s journey together began in late 2020 when they got engaged in November and married in December the same year. Their first child, Zehaan, was born in May 2023 after Gauahar announced her pregnancy in December 2022. Earlier this year in April, the couple revealed that they were expecting again through a playful dance video on Instagram. Gauahar showcased her baby bump while dancing to Jessie J’s “Price Tag,” captioning the post, “Bismillah (baby emoji) !! Need your prayers and love (heart emoji) make the world dance by spreading love #GazaBaby2 #allahummabaarikfiihi.”
