Actress Gauahar Khan has openly criticized Suniel Shetty for his recent remarks suggesting that opting for a C-section delivery is a "comfortable" choice. Shetty had praised his daughter, Athiya Shetty, for choosing a natural delivery over a C-section, stating, "She did not choose the comfort of C-section."
In response, during the first episode of her show, MaaaNoranjan, Gauahar expressed her frustration without naming Shetty directly. She said, "I want to scream on top of my voice and ask, 'How can you say that?' How can there be so much misinformation? There are so many myths, and C-section being easy is one of them."
Gauahar emphasized that the mode of delivery is often not a choice but a medical necessity. She stated, "Having a normal delivery or a C-section is not in a woman's hands. Some women can deliver normally, while some cannot, and it's completely natural. If they are opting for C-section, then they are not choosing the easier route; that's just a myth."
Sharing her personal experience, Gauahar revealed that she underwent a C-section during the birth of her son, Zehaan. She questioned the societal obsession with knowing the mode of delivery, saying, "I don't know why is this such a big topic to know how I delivered my baby. Both are equally tough, and both give you the same feeling of motherhood."
Gauahar also opened up about a miscarriage she suffered before conceiving Zehaan, describing the loss as "extremely difficult." She expressed gratitude for her subsequent natural conception and highlighted the challenges women face on their journey to motherhood.
Throughout her pregnancies, Gauahar remained professionally active, working up to the eighth month during her first pregnancy and participating in action projects during both. She and her husband, Zaid Darbar, have chosen to keep their son, Zehaan, away from the public eye to protect his privacy.
Gauahar's candid revelations aim to dispel myths surrounding childbirth and advocate for greater sensitivity and understanding in discussions about motherhood.
