Bollywood’s favorite couple Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra welcomed parenthood as they gave birth to their baby girl on July 15. The happy news was broken to the fans on July 16, in the form of a warm joint statement on Instagram. “Our hearts are truly full,” the note stated, which immediately received love and blessings from fellow celebrities like Alia Bhatt and Karan Johar, and hundreds of fans.
A Gentle Request for Privacy
On July 18, the couple was spotted leaving the hospital with their newborn baby, heading towards their residence. Despite the couple making sure their faces were not visible, viral photos of their vehicle on the way home circulated rapidly on social media. Considering the limelight, Sidharth and Kiara issued a subsequent statement, requesting that fans and the media grant their family some privacy.
“While we begin this new adventure of being parents, we would like to savor it close to ourselves as a family,” they penned. “It would mean a lot to us if this intimate time could be kept personal.” The couple reinforced their desire for a no-photo policy, asserting firmly, “No photos please, only blessings.”

Sweet Gesture for the Paparazzi
To drive home their message in a considerate manner, the couple gifted pastel pink containers of candy to members of the media. They came with heart-shaped balloons and an emotional note: “Our Baby Girl Is Here. Just a little something sweet to celebrate this special moment. No pictures please, only blessings. – Kiara & Sidharth.” Celebrity photographer Sneh Zala posted a video of the beautifully designed gift containers, which went viral online.

From On-Screen Chemistry to Real-Life Romance
Kiara and Sidharth’s romance has been a fan favorite since their on-screen coupling in the 2021 film Shershaah, which was the start of their real-life romance. Kiara finally went official in early 2023 with a birthday post for Sidharth after keeping their relationship a secret for years. The duo got married on February 7, 2023, at the royal Suryagarh Palace in Jaisalmer, announcing the news with the caption: “Ab humari permanent booking ho gayi hai.”
As the couple embarks on this new journey, admirers and well-wishers are raining blessings over them while being mindful of their earnest plea for privacy.
