"Prayers are wonderful and have a healing effect": Gauhar Khan

During Ramadan, the 'Ishaqzaade' actor Gauhar Khan has been fasting and praying for others more than she does for herself.

Gauhar Khan, prayers have a therapeutic effect and she has been praying for a corona free world since Ramazan began.

The most beautiful thing to her about prayers, is that they could be for anyone; family, friends, strangers and still benefit the person making them.

“The beauty of prayers is you pray for your loved ones, ones who are less fortunate than you are, people who are in bad health, people who are in war-stricken countries cause you have to pray for everyone to be okay. So you can be okay.”

Khan added that “praying for others is more important than praying for myself.”

She further elaborated on how making that connection with God is important for her, so that’s what she has been strengthening during the pandemic.

“I expect forgiveness and mercy that He can have on me, as we knowingly or unknowingly do a lot of wrongs,” she says.

Khan also believes that miracles do happen and if the intent is pure, God never lets you down.

“Miracles are something you’re not expecting and yet they take place. The intent ought to be good, the wish has to come from an honest space, and I feel all prayers do get answered, not like the way you had imagined but in a form that is best for you, that you realise later in life,” she says.
