In the weeks leading up to the birth, Sidharth and Kiara maintained a low profile, rarely stepping out in public. Just last week, the two were seen leaving a clinic in Bandra, accompanied by their parents, Kiara’s mother and father, Genevieve and Jagdeep Advani, and Sidharth’s mother, Rimma Malhotra. The family made a quiet exit, using umbrellas to shield Kiara from photographers. The couple has been particularly private since first announcing the pregnancy in March.

Kiara’s pregnancy made headlines earlier this year when she attended the Met Gala in New York. She walked the red carpet in a flowing Gaurav Gupta ensemble that subtly highlighted her baby bump. The designer himself dedicated the outfit to the powerful moment of impending motherhood, calling it a celebration of “life and beauty.” Social media has since been flooded with congratulatory messages. “So happy for you both!” one fan wrote. “She’s going to be a lucky girl with parents like you,” another wrote. Celebrities, too, have joined in, sending blessings and warm wishes to the couple privately and on social media.
Sidharth and Kiara’s relationship began on the sets of their film Shershaah, where they starred opposite each other in the acclaimed war drama. While rumors of their romance swirled for some time, the couple kept things under wraps until confirming their relationship through their wedding. They got married on February 7, 2023, at the regal Suryagarh Palace in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan. It was an intimate gathering, with close family and a few industry friends in attendance. Their wedding video, which offered glimpses of emotional vows and stolen smiles, quickly went viral. Now, with the arrival of their daughter, the couple is entering a new and exciting phase of life. Friends close to them say they are “over the moon” and have already begun planning how to balance parenting with their demanding work schedules.
On the professional front, both stars have a busy year ahead. Sidharth is gearing up for the release of Param Sundari, where he stars alongside Janhvi Kapoor for the first time. He is also working on Vvan: Force of the Forest, an action-adventure film set to release next year, featuring Tamannaah Bhatia. Meanwhile, Kiara is preparing for the much-anticipated release of War 2, which stars Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR. The film is scheduled to hit theaters on August 14. She is also part of Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, where she will share the screen with Kannada superstar Yash. As they embark on this new chapter, the couple has asked for privacy and blessings, focusing on their growing family and the journey ahead.
