Gauahar was asked about her decision to work a few months after delivering a baby boy. To this, the actress said, "I was ready for it. I prepared myself mentally and physically after three months of delivery. I knew I had to completely concentrate on Zehaan for three months. Once the three months were over, I started my fitness (routine) and diet. And Mashallah, I have achieved 60% of my goal and I am happy about that."

"I am just grateful that Sony TV and BBC have given me such a big opportunity right after five months of delivering a baby. All credit to them for being so welcoming and being so open-minded. Of course, my hard work has paid off. It is not looking like I've had a baby just now. So, I am very happy about that," added Gauahar.
