Add BollywoodShaadis on GoogleBollywood’s most-loved couple, Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra, are living one of the best phases of their lives. For the unversed, the couple is expecting their second child. Kiara and Sidharth are already parents to their baby girl, Saraayah, whom they welcomed in July 2025. Amid this, on Koffee With Karan Season 9, Kiara and Sidharth shared an untold behind-the-scenes story of how their relationship officially blossomed during the filming of Shershaah.
Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra graced the upcoming episode of JioHotstar’s Koffee with Karan Season 9. On the show, the couple got candid about an unheard facet of their relationship. Recalling the time when they were filming Shershaah, the couple admitted that they were going through an uncertain phase in their relationship. Both of them were busy with important stages of their careers.
Sidharth was preparing to shoot in Kargil for his role as 'Captain Vikram Batra', while Kiara was focused on building her career. The night before the Student of the Year actor left for Kargil, the Kabir Singh actress confronted him about his behaviour. She felt that he was being inconsistent with her. Sometimes, he seemed interested in her, while at other times he appeared distant. Kiara explained that she wanted clarity in their relationship. She said:
"You’re very hot and cold with me. For me, you’re either in or you’re out. Like this in between, I don’t understand; I can’t do it."
Sidharth admitted that he had to take a moment to think before leaving for the remote shooting location in Kargil. He told Kiara that he knew she was someone he could have a serious and committed relationship with. However, at that point, he was at an important stage in his career and wanted to focus completely on his work. Sidharth explained:
"And I’m just in a place in my life where I really need to focus on work, and I cannot allow myself to let anything else come in the way."
The two agreed to part ways for the tough Kargil schedule and wanted to see where fate took them. However, things took an unexpected turn when the Student of the Year actor went to Kargil to shoot for Shershaah. Despite the difficult shooting conditions and poor mobile network, he made an effort to call Kiara every night after pack-up.
Kiara revealed that they spoke on the phone every single night for 30 consecutive days. During these conversations, they grew closer, and their relationship officially began while Sidharth was still in Kargil. She said:
"After packing up, every single night he would call me, and we talked for 30 days straight. So, the official dating started when he was in Kargil."
Kiara and Sidharth’s love story began during the filming of Shershaah. The couple starred as guests on Koffee with Karan on separate occasions and subtly hinted at something going on between the two. In 2022, during her episode, Kiara Advani shared that they were 'more than close friends,' and Sidharth, on his respective show, shared that he is looking forward to a 'happy future' with Kiara.
Sidharth proposed to his ladylove, Kiara, while they were in Rome. The couple tied the knot on February 7, 2023, at Suryagarh Palace in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, in the presence of close friends and family. The duo welcomed their first child, a daughter named Saraayah, on July 15, 2025. Cut to October 7, 2026, Kiara and Sidharth surprised their fans by announcing that they are expecting their second child.
