What does the name Khai mean?
As per a report on FreePressJournal.in, the word Khai means "the chosen one, royalty or nobility". The language that the word Khai has been taken from is Arabic, which is a common language spoken by both Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik. Zayn is an individual of British-Pakistani origin, while Gigi's father, Mohamed Hadid, hails from Palestine.
In addition to Gigi updating her Instagram bio, the musician himself did the same by adding Khai's Baba (Translation: Father) to his description on the social media site. But, the former One Direction singer took it down minutes later.
On the work front, while Gigi Hadid is busy taking care of her newborn along with her partner, the latter released a new album titled "Nobody's Listening" just a few days ago. The musician took to Twitter in order to share a link to the same. The tweet can be found below as well as on Zayn's Instagram handle.
