Gauahar did not post anything about her father's death yet but changed her Instagram profile photo to a lit candle, seemingly as an ode to her father. Gauahar had only recently shared a picture of her father from her wedding day.

Gauahar had described her father as the strongest. She had written in the caption, "A fathers kiss #Blessing Zafar Ahmed Khan, I love you soooooooooo much #MyPappaStrongest."
