The photo showed them holding a pair of baby socks, captioned, 'The greatest gift of our lives… Coming soon.' The baby's arrival comes just days after Kiara was spotted leaving a clinic, accompanied by her parents, Genevieve and Jagdeep Advani, and husband, Sidharth. The family was seen dodging the paparazzi under an umbrella. Reports suggest the baby was due in August. Since the pregnancy reveal, both Sidharth and Kiara have mostly stayed out of the spotlight, with the new mom making one head-turning appearance at the annual haute couture gala in Manhattan, wearing Gaurav Gupta couture in a nod to motherhood. A post shared by KIARA (@kiaraaliaadvani) Also read: Kiara Advani, Sidharth Malhotra announce pregnancy: 'The greatest gift of our lives' Both Kiara and Sidharth were linked time to time ever since the Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 star appeared in Lust Stories in 2018. In 2019, they sparked dating rumours when pictures of the duo vacationing in South Africa surfaced. Although both shared separate photographs, the similar background raised eyebrows. In 2020, the speculations surrounding their relationship grew even more, but both of them remained tight-lipped. It was in 2021 when their off-screen chemistry spilled on-screen after they starred together in Shershaah as Captain Vikram Batra and Dimple Cheema. In 2022, both actors dropped a subtle confirmation on Koffee With Karan. In February 2023, the duo got married in a private ceremony limited to close friends and family. Sharing their photos online, they wrote, 'Ab humari permanent booking hogayi hai. We seek your blessings and love on our journey ahead.'

'I want to be someone who has a voice,' says actor Neha Dhupia in Bengaluru
You may know her from 2000s comedies like Chup Chupke or Singh is Kinng, from her time as a model representing India in the Miss Universe pageant, or perhaps more recently, playing Vidya Balan's boss in 2017 hit Tumhari Sulu or an unabashedly sexy librarian in Lust Stories. Add to that her much-loved stints as a gang leader on several seasons of Roadies and her podcast-cum-YouTube show No Filter Neha, it's no stretch to call Neha Dhupia a beloved household name. Visiting the city as the showstopper for Max Kids Festival, she reflected on this gradual shift in focus from model-actor to reality TV star and popular host, saying, 'It's not a transition; in 2025, any number of mediums that you can explore – whether it's a podcast, television, fiction or non-fiction, whether it's playing characters in films – you should. After being in the business for over two decades now, I have to put myself in a box and at the same time, be out of the box. I want to be someone who has a voice and exercises it when necessary.' This confident and outspoken demeanour is evident than ever in Dhupia's return to Roadies for its Roadies Double Cross season after three years. 'My biggest victory has been coming back to the show and get ting the amount of love that I makes me want to keep coming back,' she says, adding, 'I'm always fighting for what I want to try and at no point do I want to hurt or harm anybody. The intention is always to encourage people.'

Amid Deepika Padukone, Sandeep Reddy Vanga row, Radhika Apte admits industry is not conducive to new mom needs: ‘It's really difficult...'
The news of Deepika Padukone's exit from Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit started a discourse in the industry after it was claimed that her 'unprofessional demands' led to her ouster. After Aja Devgn came to the actress' support, Radhika Apte, who is also a new mother, claimed that the industry is not conducive to the needs of a new mother. The Lust Stories actress announced her pregnancy last year as she flaunted her baby bump on the red carpet of the BAFTA Awards. She was there as her British film, Sister Midnight, was nominated in the Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer category. She welcomed a baby girl in December 2024 with her husband, Benedict Taylor. In a recent interview with the Indian Express' SCREEN, Apte was asked if the film industry is encouraging towards the needs of new mothers. In response to this, the actress shared her concern, expressing, 'I don't think they are. I don't know how I'm going to navigate that going ahead.' She further explained her reason, noting that an actor rarely gets the time to see their child, considering long shoot hours. 'It's really difficult to work in our film industry, given the number of hours and how we film generally, and the time for which we don't get to see the child. So I guess I'll just have to figure it out now,' she further added. Notably, this comes days after a Bollywood Hungama report claimed that Deepika Padukone was ousted from Sandeep Reddy Vanga 's Spirit after she demanded changes in her contract through her agency. It was reported that the actress refused to shoot for more than 6 hours a day. The report also claimed that the actress demanded extra pay for every single day if the shoot extended beyond 100 days. Ajay Devgn, on the other hand, during the trailer launch of Maa, also reacted to the row and assured that most of the "honest filmmakers" don't have any problem with these things. He also claimed that most people have started working 8-9-hour shifts. After getting a release in the UK and the US later in 2024, Sister Midnight has finally been released in India. It is currently running in the theaters.
