Bollywood actors Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani are set to welcome their second child. The couple shared the news on social media on October 7, 2026, with a simple message, “Blessed Once Again.”
The announcement featured a picture showing the hands of Sidharth, Kiara and their daughter Saraayah Malhotra, along with a pair of white knitted baby socks. The news comes a little over 14 months after the couple welcomed their first child.
Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani’s Journey to Parenthood
Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani got married in a grand ceremony in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, on February 7, 2023. The couple first became parents on July 15, 2025, when their daughter, Saraayah Malhotra, was born.
Their first pregnancy was announced on February 28, 2025, three weeks after their second wedding anniversary. The announcement received widespread attention on social media, although the couple has largely kept their daughter away from the public eye and has asked for privacy.
Kiara Advani, born on July 31, 1991, turned 35 earlier this year, while Sidharth Malhotra, born on January 16, 1985, celebrated his 41st birthday in January.
The couple’s relationship began after they worked together in the 2021 film Shershaah. Their journey from co-stars to married partners and parents has remained closely followed by their fans.
Kiara Advani’s Recent Work
Despite their growing family, both actors have continued to remain active professionally.
Kiara Advani received critical appreciation for her performance in Satyaprem Ki Katha (2023). She also appeared in War 2 (2025) before the birth of her first child. In 2026, she featured opposite Yash in Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, which also received appreciation for her performance.
She has reportedly been signed for Kamal Aur Meena, a biopic centred on legendary Bollywood actress Meena Kumari and her husband Kamal Amrohi. The project is directed by Siddharth P Malhotra.
Sidharth Malhotra’s Recent Projects
Sidharth Malhotra has also continued to explore both streaming and theatrical projects. He played the lead role in the 2024 streaming series Indian Police Force, which premiered on Prime Video.
