Exclusive! Gauahar Khan on her second pregnancy: I am excited and nervous

Gauahar Khan, who is five months pregnant, walked the ramp for the Bombay Times Fashion Week Spring Edition. It was a feeling of déjà vu for the actress, who had also walked the ramp during her first pregnancy. “It's very special. In fact, no one knows that I had walked the ramp when I was pregnant with my son Zehaan. I was two months pregnant then, so I had not announced it. This time, I was very nervous because obviously, your appearance changes. However, I felt more empowered,” Gauahar shares.

Is her pregnancy experience this time around different from her first? Gauahar, who had shared the pregnancy news on Instagram recently, says, “It is very different. Each pregnancy is different. I'm equally nervous for the second one. You still wonder whether you are doing everything right. I feel like I'm going through it for the first time. I am excited, elated, and overjoyed... you get to experience the same feelings again. You still feel those pulls and you’re still making those calls to the doctors. If I need my calm, I call Zaid (her husband, Zaid Darbar). He's my biggest support," she adds.

Ask her if motherhood changed her, and she replies, “It has made me more patient and appreciate my mother a lot more. We just take mothers for granted. Mothers are just something else, and you realise that only when you become a mother.”
She also adds, "During my first pregnancy, I was shooting an action show till the fourth month. This time around, too, I was shooting some action scenes till the third month. Work-wise, I will continue until I can. When I was pregnant with Zehaan, I had worked till the eighth month."
