Take a look: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sidharth Malhotra (@sidmalhotra) Fans went gaga over Sidharth's birthday wish for Kiara. They wrote, 'Happiest birthday to your wifey", 'May this love kidnap me", 'Crying right now", 'Happy birthday to everyone's favorite @kiaraaliaadvani", 'Happy birthday dear kii", 'Happy birthday Mrs Malhotra". Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra's love story Back in 2023, during an episode of Koffee With Karan, host Karan Johar took a trip down memory lane as he recounted the moment when Sidharth and Kiara first met. While chatting with guests Varun Dhawan and Sidharth, Karan revealed the surprising circumstances that led to their first encounter. 'I'll tell you where they met for the first time. We were wrapping…it was strange. It was serendipitous, or whatever the word is. We had just wrapped Lust Stories, where she shot that big scene," he shared. Karan went on to describe how, after wrapping up the shoot, they all headed to a mutual friend's birthday celebration. 'We all went there. There was Vicky, there was Kiara, there was me, and there was Neha Dhupia. And then Sidharth Malhotra called me, and I told him, 'We're at this party in Bandra. Why don't you come?' Not realising anything," he said, subtly implying his accidental role in bringing the two together. Adding to the memory, Sidharth said, 'I met Vicky, Kiara, and Amrit all together for the first time," to which Karan responded, 'But at that party, you came. Somehow, you said, 'Okay, I will come,' which is not your personality. And that's where he met Kiara for the first time." Karan was quick to clarify that he hadn't planned their meeting—it simply unfolded naturally. Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra dated for years before tying the knot in 2023 in a fairytale wedding in Rajasthan. Earlier this month, they welcomed their daughter.

How Birthday Girl Kiara Advani's Love Story With Sidharth Malhotra Began
Karan Johar once mentioned that Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani first met at a party. Bollywood's one of the most versatile actresses, Kiara Advani, is celebrating her 34th birthday today, on July 31. This year marks her first birthday as a new mother to her newborn daughter. Over the years, Kiara has left a mark in the industry with her lasting impact, incredible performance, and strong screen presence. Additionally, her love story with fellow actor and husband Sidharth Malhotra remains one of the biggest highlights of her career. As the actress celebrates her 34th birthday, let's revisit the first time when the two lovebirds crossed paths: Kiara Advani And Sidharth Malhotra Met At Party In 2023, during one of the episodes of Koffee With Karan, filmmaker and producer Karan Johar recalled the very first time when Sidharth and Kiara crossed paths. Narrating the incident to guests Varun Dhawan and Sidharth, KJO recalled, 'I'll tell you where they met for the first time. We were wrapping…it was strange. It was serendipitous, or whatever the word is. We had just wrapped Lust Stories, where she shot that big scene." Remembering the day, Karan stated that after wrapping up the shoot, they went to a friend's house for a birthday party. 'We all went there. There was Vicky, there was Kiara, there was me, and there was Neha Dhupia. And then Sidharth Malhotra called me, and I told him, 'We're at this party in Bandra. Why don't you come?' Not realising anything," Karan revealed, explaining his role as a cupid in Sid and Kiara's love story. Sidharth Malhotra chimed in and shared more about the incident. 'I met Vicky, Kiara, and Amrit all together for the first time," Sidharth revealed. Then KJo went on, 'But at that party, you came. Somehow, you said, 'Okay, I will come,' which is not your personality. And that's where he met Kiara for the first time." Karan further clarified that he did not make the two lovebirds meet; it all happened eventually. After their first meeting, the couple was then spotted on-screen for the very first time in Shershaah. Starring as each other's love interest, the palpable chemistry on-screen led to an off-screen romance. Although both Sidharth and Kiara kept their relationship away from the public eye, certain pictures of their secret getaways began surfacing, sparking dating rumours. Finally, in a 2022 episode of Koffee With Karan, Kiara opened up about her relationship with Sidharth and shared, 'We're more than close friends." Later in 2023, Kiara and Sidharth made things official when the actress wished him happy birthday on social media. The couple finally tied the knot in 2023 in a fairytale wedding in Rajasthan, and in 2025, they welcomed their daughter. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
