Gauahar shared a photograph of Zaid lovingly cradling their two sons, Zehaan and Farwaan, with the boys' faces covered by red heart emojis. In her caption, she wrote: 'Praying for the bestest year and the most amazing life always! happiest birthday abba!!!!'
Their Love Story
Gauahar and Zaid's relationship blossomed during the 2020 lockdown, after which they tied the knot in a traditional nikah ceremony on 25 December 2020. The couple have since become a popular presence on social media, frequently described as setting couple goals for their fans.
Growing Family
The couple welcomed their first son, Zehaan, on 10 May 2023, followed by their second child, Farwaan, on 1 September 2025. The birthday post, featuring Zaid with both boys in his arms, offered a warm, if glimpse-limited, snapshot of the family of four.
Gauahar Opens Up About Her Past
In a recent appearance on the celebrity talk show 'Rashami Ke Dil Se Dil Tak', hosted by actress Rashami Desai, the 'Bigg Boss 7' alumna revealed that she had grown deeply disillusioned with relationships before meeting Zaid. 'I was completely averse to men. I was like, I don't want to meet men, they are all commitment phobic. They all want to run away. I was ready to be vulnerable in a relationship, and most men were not,' she said candidly.
She added that she had surrendered her romantic future to a higher power. 'I said a prayer, please send me any good man, if it is meant for me, I will take it from you — and believe you me, uske ek mahine baad hi we bumped into each other, and he was the one who messaged me,' Gauahar recalled.
As Zaid steps into his new year, the couple's public warmth and candid storytelling continue to resonate with their considerable social media following.
Point of View
But Gauahar's combination of a family snapshot and her candid revisiting of pre-Zaid heartbreak gives this one staying power beyond a simple wish. Her willingness to speak openly about relationship disillusionment — on a platform hosted by a peer — reflects a broader shift among Bollywood personalities toward vulnerability as a brand asset. What is easy to miss: the couple's post-lockdown trajectory, from meeting online to two children in five years, tracks closely with a documented pandemic-era acceleration of serious relationships among urban millennials in India.
