Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra welcome baby girl
The couple, who tied the knot in a private ceremony in Rajasthan in February 2023, had announced their pregnancy earlier this year with a photo on social media. The image featured their hands cradling a pair of baby socks, captioned, 'The greatest gift of our lives. Coming soon.'
Their relationship blossomed after starring together in Shershaah, where Sidharth portrayed the late Captain Vikram Batra and Kiara played his partner, Dimple Cheema. Their on-screen chemistry gave way to their real-life romance, and soon culminated in their much-talked-about wedding.
Since their marriage, the couple has continued to be one of Bollywood's most popular duos, often sharing glimpses of their personal life through social media. The news of their daughter's birth has prompted an outpouring of love and congratulations from fans, colleagues, and celebrities.
Professionally, both actors have a packed slate ahead. Kiara will next be seen in War 2, starring alongside Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR. The film is scheduled for release on Independence Day, August 14, 2025.
Sidharth, meanwhile, is set to appear in Param Sundari opposite Janhvi Kapoor, a romantic comedy from Maddock Films. He also has VVAN: Force of the Forest under production with Ekta Kapoor.

Hrithik Roshan's Latest Look Breaks The Internet, Fans Call Him ‘Greek God'
Actor is gearing up for War 2. The film is already generating massive buzz thanks to its action-packed trailer. Hrithik Roshan is once again proving why he's called the style icon of Bollywood. The actor, gearing up for the much-awaited release of War 2, recently dropped new photos in a sharply tailored suit, and fans are completely losing it. Note that War 2 also stars Kiara Advani and Jr NTR in the lead role. Taking to his Instagram handle, Hrithik Roshan shared a series of photos in suits and wrote, 'Thank you Sri Lanka for a memorable evening. See you soon in the cinemas 14th aug #WAR2." One of the fan wrote, 'Tenu Suit always suit kar da! Dashing Duggu as always." Another wrote, 'Hrithik, you are Amazing!!! Mr. Perfect!" Many called his Greek God. Take a look here: Recently, the superstar has launched a contest based on the hookstep of the recently released romantic track Aavan Jaavan, and the reward? A chance to meet the man himself. Taking to Instagram on Friday (August 1), Hrithik unveiled the challenge in a video message, urging fans to recreate the song's now-viral dance step. 'My latest song Aavan Jaavan from War 2 is out now and YRF is doing a contest on the hook step. Iss gaane ka hookstep kaafi simple aur easy hai… Toh kariye Aavan Jaavan ka hookstep Kabir aur Kavya ke jaise to join and maybe win this contest," he said. Released on July 31, Aavan Jaavan is already setting the tone for the film's romantic subplot. Featuring Hrithik and Kiara Advani amid the breathtaking backdrops of Europe, the song has all the hallmarks of a Bollywood blockbuster melody — sweeping visuals, sizzling chemistry, and soaring vocals by Arijit Singh and Nikhita Gandhi. Meanwhile, War 2 is already generating massive buzz thanks to its action-packed trailer. Directed by Brahmāstra helmer Ayan Mukerji, the film brings together Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR in a never-seen-before pairing that promises fireworks. The sequel to 2019's War, this next installment in the YRF Spy Universe is poised to be one of the biggest cinematic spectacles of the year. With themes of patriotism, espionage, and high-octane drama, War 2 is all set to raise the stakes in the spy-action genre. From thunderous face-offs to sizzling romance, fans can expect a full-blown cinematic experience when the film hits theatres later this year. But before that, it's time to dance like Kabir and Kavya — and maybe, just maybe, meet Hrithik himself. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

FWICE Warns Kartik Aaryan Over Pak-Backed Event; Actors Team Denies Link
Mumbai: Hours after the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) issued a strong letter to Kartik Aaryan, raising concerns about him attending an upcoming event linked to a Pakistani-owned entity, the actor's team denied his participation in the Independence Day show in Houston, USA. FWICE sent a letter to the actor urging him to "withdraw" from the event, citing concerns over national interest, especially following the terror attack at Pahalgam on April 22. However, on Saturday evening, Kartik's team issued a clarification stating that the actor is "not associated with the event" and that he never made an "official announcement" about participating in it. In the statement, the team said, "Kartik Aaryan is not associated with this event in any capacity. He has never made an official announcement about participating in it. We have contacted the organisers and requested that all promotional materials featuring his name and image be removed." FWICE, in their letter to the actor, wrote, 'As you are well aware, FWICE has issued a directive for all members and stakeholders of the Indian film industry to completely boycott Pakistani artists, technicians, and performers in light of Pakistan's continued involvement in terror attacks against India, including the recent brutal attack in Pahalgam, where innocent Indian civilians and tourists lost their lives. The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (I&B Ministry) has also issued a similar directive that is very much in force and must be followed strictly by all Indian citizens and performers working in public life.' Before the actor's team issued the statement, FWICE President BN Tiwari had also spoken to ANI, explaining their concerns in detail. 'The show is scheduled for August 15 in Houston, USA, and Kartik Aaryan was named as the chief celebrity guest. The organiser of the show is a Pakistani national.' 'After Operation Sindoor, this is the second such incident. We are doing our best to take a stand of non-cooperation against any artist who supports such events,' he added. FWICE General Secretary Ashoke Dubey also mentioned that he tried contacting the actor and his team multiple times but received no response. "On July 20, when I learned about the show, I texted the contact number we had. But there was no response. I also tried calling, but the call was not picked up. Even today, I sent a letter and the show details to his manager, but got no reply. That's why we decided to send an official letter to him."
