New Delhi: Gauahar Khan's husband Zaid Darbar is facing a lot of criticism since he posted an Instagram story featuring a homeless person in Mumbai. Many internet users considered him disrespectful and disgusting. In the story, a homeless guy slept close while Zaid posted a photo of himself standing. "No AC, no fan, no darkness, but still sleeping so peacefully because no wife?,” he captioned the photo. Tagging his wife, actress Gauahar Khan, Zaid further wrote, But I am the most peaceful with you jaanu. I love you jaanu…”
A screenshot of Zaid’s message went viral on Reddit. People were upset and furious, blaming Zaid for being insensitive on social media. A Reddit user posted Zaid Darbar's story with the caption: “Is he really that stupid?”
