Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra announced on Wednesday that they are expecting their second child, and wishes poured in from Karan Johar, Kajol, Parineeti Chopra and many others. For fans, it is the latest chapter in one of Bollywood's most-loved love stories.

From Shershaah to a Jaisalmer Wedding

Sidharth and Kiara's romance blossomed on the sets of Shershaah (2021), the war drama in which Sidharth played Captain Vikram Batra and Kiara played his love, Dimple Cheema. Their on-screen chemistry won hearts, and off-screen, the two grew close.

On Koffee With Karan Season 7, Sidharth said he wanted to manifest his marriage, hoping the bride would be Kiara. Fans did not have to wait long. The couple married on February 7, 2023, in a dreamy ceremony at Suryagarh Palace in Jaisalmer, keeping it intimate in line with their private nature.

Becoming Parents

In February 2025, they announced their first pregnancy with a photo of their hands cradling tiny knitted baby socks, captioned "The greatest gift of our lives. Coming soon." Kiara later made headlines at the 2025 Met Gala, showing her baby bump in Gaurav Gupta couture with the caption "Mama's first Monday in May."

The couple welcomed daughter Saraayah on July 15, 2025. When they revealed her name, reports said it carries the meaning "God's princess."

Baby No. 2 and Bollywood's Love

In a post echoing their first announcement, the couple shared a photo with Saraayah and a pair of ivory knitted booties, writing, "Blessed once again with the greatest gift of all… Our hearts are so full of love and gratitude."

Karan Johar commented, "Love love you." Parineeti Chopra wrote, "Congratssss guys," Rakul Preet Singh called it "such a lovely news," and Neha Dhupia wrote, "Congratulations to all three of you." Kajol, Ayushmann Khurrana, Patralekhaa and Masaba Gupta also sent love.

What fans love about Sidharth and Kiara is how they share their milestones: rarely, simply and with a personal touch. From baby socks to booties held by Saraayah, their announcements feel like family moments rather than publicity, which is why each one draws such a warm response.

On the work front, Kiara was recently seen in Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups with Yash, while Sidharth's latest release is Vvan – Force of the Forrest with Tamannaah Bhatia.

The Bottom Line

From a war film set to a growing family of four, Sidharth and Kiara's journey has been one of Bollywood's most heartwarming, and it is clearly far from over.
