Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra Announce Pregnancy with Adorable Instagram Post

Actor Kiara Advani has announced that she and her husband, Sidharth Malhotra, are expecting their first child together.

The couple shared the joyful news on Instagram, posting an adorable image of themselves holding tiny baby socks.

Their joint post was accompanied by the caption, “The greatest gift of our lives. Coming soon.” While they did not disclose a due date or additional details, the announcement was met with an outpouring of love from fans and industry peers.

Celebrities and Fans Shower Their Blessings

Following the announcement, congratulatory messages flooded in from both fans and Bollywood celebrities. Actor Huma Qureshi exclaimed, “Omg congratulations,” while Neha Dhupia also sent her best wishes.

Fans expressed their joy, with one commenting, “Going to be the best mom and dad,” and another writing, “So happy for you both and the whole family.”

A Love Story That Began on Set

Kiara and Sidharth first met while filming the 2021 war drama Shershaah, in which Sidharth portrayed Captain Vikram Batra and Kiara played his girlfriend, Dimple Cheema.

The film, released on Amazon Prime Video, was both a critical and commercial success. Their chemistry on-screen sparked speculation about their off-screen romance, though the couple remained private about their relationship.

Despite persistent dating rumors since 2020, neither Kiara nor Sidharth publicly confirmed their relationship. However, in 2022, filmmaker Karan Johar seemingly confirmed their romance on Koffee With Karan.

The Romantic Proposal in Rome

During an appearance on Koffee With Karan Season 8, Kiara shared details of Sidharth’s heartfelt proposal in Rome.

She recalled, “You know when Sid came to that episode (last year’s Koffee With Karan episode), we had just come back from Rome where he proposed to me. My parents weren’t there. It was our first family holiday with me and his family.”

Describing the moment, Kiara added, “I was so overwhelmed. Then he starts saying the lines from Shershaah – he’s like, ‘Dilli ka seedha saadha launda hun (I am a simple boy from Delhi)’ – with the full dialogues of Shershaah, and I burst out laughing.”

A Grand Wedding in Rajasthan

On February 7, 2023, Kiara and Sidharth exchanged vows in a lavish Hindu ceremony at Suryagarh Palace, Rajasthan.

Their intimate wedding was attended by close friends and family, including celebrities like Shahid Kapoor, Mira Rajput, Karan Johar, Isha Ambani, and Juhi Chawla. Kiara’s breathtaking bridal entry and Sidharth’s emotional reaction captured hearts everywhere.

After tying the knot, the couple shared stunning wedding pictures on Instagram with the caption, “Ab humari permanent booking ho gayi (Now we are permanently married).” Their wedding post became one of the most-liked Instagram posts in India at the time.

Cherishing Their First Anniversary

In February 2024, Kiara and Sidharth celebrated their first wedding anniversary with a special getaway.

Sharing matching photos from a horse-riding session, they wrote, “It’s not the journey or the destination, it’s the company that matters. Thank you for being the best partner on this crazy ride called life.”

Later that month, Kiara posted a fun anniversary video with the caption, “How it started, how it’s going. Happy Anniversary to my partner in everything. Love you, Sidharth Malhotra.”

Sidharth also shared unseen wedding photos, including one where Kiara looked radiant as a bride while he gazed at her lovingly. Another image revealed a special detail—Sidharth’s mehendi featuring the letter “K.” His post read, “Happy anniversary, love Kiara Advani. Officially branded as yours forever!”

A Special Connection to Parenthood

Following the pregnancy announcement, an old interview of Sidharth resurfaced, in which he expressed his belief in marriage as an institution.

During a 2016 interview with DNA, while promoting Baar Baar Dekho, he said, “In today’s day and age, marriage has become just a tagline. I think I will only get married when I want to have babies. Otherwise, it would be unfair to the child to not give him/her a name. Till then, it doesn’t matter. You can be with whoever you want to. Marriage is just a technicality; it doesn’t change your love for that person.”

Fast forward to 2023, Sidharth and Kiara wed in an intimate ceremony in Jaisalmer. Nearly two years later, they announced their first pregnancy, with a touching Instagram post featuring tiny baby socks and the caption, “The greatest gift of our lives. Coming soon.”

Upcoming Projects for Kiara and Sidharth

As they prepare for parenthood, both actors have an exciting lineup of projects.

Sidharth recently completed the Kerala schedule for his upcoming romantic comedy, Param Sundari, co-starring Janhvi Kapoor. Following the shoot, he took a brief vacation with Kiara, with their travel pictures quickly going viral.

Directed by Tushar Jalota and backed by Maddock Films, Param Sundari is set to release on July 25, 2025.

Meanwhile, Kiara is gearing up for War 2, where she will share screen space with Hrithik Roshan.

She was last seen in Game Changer alongside Ram Charan, while Sidharth’s most recent appearance was in Yodha, directed by Sagar Ambre and Pushkar Ojha.
