Bollywood’s beloved couple, Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra, have entered a beautiful new chapter of their lives. The duo, who tied the knot in a fairytale wedding in Jaisalmer on February 7, 2023, were blessed with a baby girl on July 15, 2025. The couple’s warm and heartfelt announcement on social media captured the attention of fans and well-wishers across the country, turning a private moment into a shared celebration but on their own respectful terms.
A Heartfelt Announcement
On July 16, a day after the birth of their daughter, Kiara and Sidharth took to Instagram to share the happy news. The post was visually soft and emotionally rich, adorned in pastel pink hues; it radiated joy and warmth. Our hearts overflow with joy, and our lives have been changed forever.
We are blessed with a baby girl—Kiara & Sidharth,” read the post. It was accompanied by folded hands, a red heart, and an evil eye emoji—subtle symbols of gratitude, love, and protection.
The announcement was warmly embraced by the film fraternity, admirers, and the press alike.
However, amidst the euphoria, the couple also made a humble request that this precious phase of their lives be allowed to unfold in private.
A Plea for Privacy
On July 17, Kiara and Sidharth issued a joint statement appealing for privacy during this deeply personal time. The message expressed deep gratitude for the love and blessings, saying their hearts were full. As they embark on the journey of parenthood, they wish to cherish it privately as a family.
It would mean a lot to us if this special time could stay private. So, no photos, please, only blessings! Thank you for your support. Love, Kiara & Sidharth.”
Their statement was a respectful and sincere reminder that while the world celebrates their joy, their little one deserves a calm and protected beginning.
First Outing: Straight to Nani’s House
On July 18, Kiara was discharged from the hospital in Mumbai, where she had delivered her daughter just a few days earlier. While she managed to avoid the flashing cameras, her vehicle featuring tinted windows was spotted leaving the hospital premises. Fans and paparazzi alike anticipated the couple would return straight to their home. But instead, they made a touching stop at a very special place.
Following her discharge from the hospital, the couple’s first stop was Kiara’s mother’s home in Mumbai.
Their baby girl was taken to meet her nani, Kiara’s mother, Genevieve Advani, before heading to the couple’s own residence. A heartwarming gesture that reflected their emotional closeness to family and tradition.
The entrance of Genevieve Advani’s house saw tight security with multiple guards stationed to ensure complete privacy. Despite the anticipation and buzz surrounding the couple, they remained committed to maintaining a secure and serene environment for their newborn.
A Sweet Gesture to the Media
While the couple remained adamant about their demand for privacy, they also demonstrated remarkable sensitivity towards the media fraternity. On the day of discharge, Kiara and Sidharth sent paparazzi photographers pastel pink boxes of sweets, a little but significant act of appreciation for the favor the media has shown them all these years.
The boxes were accompanied by a note that said, “Our baby girl is here. Just a little something sweet to celebrate this special moment. No pictures, please, only blessings. Kiara & Sidharth.” The pink wrapping paper, adorned with heart-shaped balloons, was representative of the couple trying to find the middle ground between personal boundaries and public thankfulness.
A clip of the handout was posted by celebrity photographer Sneh Zala and went viral in no time for its considerate and elegant message. The act was well-received and was a rare instance of warmth between celebrities and paparazzi, whose relationship is usually strained.
A New Chapter Begins
Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra, who charmed everyone with their chemistry on screen in the 2021 war drama Shershaah, have now entered one of the most life-changing roles of their lives: being parents. Their courtship, steeped in class, reserve, and mutual respect, has now given rise to a family of three.
Their own wedding a year ago at the stunning Suryagarh Palace in Rajasthan was a private ceremony with only friends and relatives present. The couple has continued to maintain that sense of closeness as they embark on this new chapter as parents.
From their eloquently crafted Instagram messages to their kind approach to the media, all of their methods have been classy and earthy. They have succeeded in celebrating a historical moment in their lives while still maintaining emotional health, boundaries, and family values—a feat in the public glare of fame.
As a fan, the way to celebrate their happiness is to give them the space they’ve asked for and to bless them from afar. After all, as the couple so aptly stated, no pictures, just blessings.
