The picture shows their daughter, Saraayah, handing a pair of ivory knitted booties to her parents, introducing herself as the soon-to-be big sister.

A Familiar Way to Share Big News

The announcement mirrors how the couple first shared their pregnancy in February 2025, with a photo of their hands cradling tiny knitted baby socks and the caption "The greatest gift of our lives. Coming soon."

That first pregnancy also produced one of 2025's most memorable fashion moments. Kiara showcased her baby bump at the Met Gala in May 2025 in a Gaurav Gupta couture look, captioning her post "Mama's first Monday in May."

Saraayah was born on July 15, 2025. When the couple later revealed her name, reports said it carries the meaning "God's princess."

Why It Matters: Siblings Close in Age

With Saraayah born in July 2025, the couple's two children will be close in age. For fans who have followed the couple from their Shershaah days, the news marks another chapter in one of Bollywood's most-loved love stories, and one shared with a personal, family-first touch.

From Koffee to Family

Their journey has played out partly in public. On Koffee With Karan Season 7, Sidharth said he wanted to manifest his marriage, hoping the bride would be Kiara. The couple married months later, on February 7, 2023, in a dreamy Rajasthan wedding at Suryagarh Palace in Jaisalmer.

The show's role in their story adds a nostalgic note as Koffee With Karan returns for its final season this month.

On the Work Front

Kiara has kept a busy schedule. After War 2 (2025), she was recently seen in Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups with Yash, Nayanthara, Huma Qureshi, Tara Sutaria and Rukmini Vasanth.

Sidharth's latest release is Vvan – Force of the Forrest with Tamannaah Bhatia, a folklore-based film written by Arunabh Kumar and directed by Deepak Mishra and Arunabh Kumar.

The Bottom Line

From a manifested wish on a talk show to a Jaisalmer wedding, a Met Gala bump and now a second baby, Kiara and Sidharth's story keeps growing, and this time, Saraayah got to share the news.
