Ismail Darbar stated in a recent interview that his son is entitled to order Gauahar to stop working. He also used the example of his wife, Ayesha, who left her work after having a child.
Ismail Darbar, a seasoned music composer, has come under fire for remarks he made recently about actress Gauahar Khan, his daughter-in-law. For those who don’t know, Ismail said in a recent interview that his son has the authority to tell Gauahar to stop working. He opposes Gauahar’s work and used his wife Ayesha Darbar as an example, who gave up her job after having a child. Ismail was asked if he watches Gauahar’s work during an interview with Vickey Lalwani.
What did Ismail Darbar say about Gauahar’s song?
He said, “I come from a backward family. We used to turn away whenever a sensuous type of scene came in a movie. This happens in our house even today. Gauahar is a part of our family now, and we are responsible for her reputation. But I can’t tell her not to work; that right belongs only to Zaid. So, I don’t indulge in activities that might bother me.”
“I’m not one to mince my words. I know that I will not be able to tolerate what I see, and if I am not able to tolerate what I see, I will confront them,” Ismail added.
Netizens call out Ismail Darbar
Some netizens attacked him for his opinions shortly after his interview appeared on social media. A Reddit member responded to a screenshot of his remarks by writing, “Who is going to earn then? Gauahar is the most famous and accomplished person in this family.”
Another comment read, “Zaid her husband?! Who even gave him the right to give “permission “. Did he raise her and is a minor ?! No ! So no no one have that right.”
“Bhai wahi traditional mentality, aurat hai toh ghar pe rahe and shit. And to be honest, Zaid had established nothing in comparison to Gauhar toh bs wahi scene hai. Apne launde ko bolo kuch kaam kare dhang ka instead bahu ko ki ghar pe rahe,” wrote another angry user.
“Oh God ! I always thought she can’t fit into this family. She was a bigger celebrity than his jobless husband ! What all covid made people do,” read another comment.
Criticising the music composer, another user wrote, “And what has Zaid achieved till now in comparison to Gauhar that he has the audacity to stop her from working. So according to him a woman is a child making factory after which she has to look after them and stop earning for herself.”
Gauahar-Zaid got married on…
In December 2020, Gauahar and Zaid were married in an intimate ceremony. In May 2023, they welcomed Zehaan, their first child. They were blessed with another son in September 2025.
