Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra have confirmed that they are expecting their second child. The actors shared the update on Instagram with a photograph that includes their daughter, Saraayah, and a fresh pair of baby booties.
Kiara captioned the post: “Blessed once again with the greatest gift of all👼Our hearts are so full of love and gratitude.” The framing closely echoes the couple’s earlier baby announcement, which also centred on a small pair of knit booties.
A timeline from Shershaah to baby number two
The Bollywood couple’s story has played out in public chapters. They met while filming Shershaah, the 2021 Amazon Prime Video war drama in which Sidharth played Captain Vikram Batra and Kiara played Dimple Cheema. There were rumours about them from 2020, but neither actor confirmed the relationship at first. In 2022, Karan Johar appeared to let it slip on Koffee With Karan when he called Kiara Sidharth’s girlfriend.
They married on February 7, 2023 in Jaisalmer. Their daughter Saraayah arrived in November last year. Kiara returned to work and appears this year alongside Yash in Toxic.

- Now: The couple announces a second pregnancy.
Why this announcement lands differently
For celebrity watchers, the reveal is as much about continuity as about the baby. The booties callback makes the announcement feel intimate and intentional, a contrast to the high-octane film marketing that usually dominates Bollywood feeds. It also reframes the conversation around Kiara’s professional momentum. Huma Qureshi recently told a press event about shooting a rain-heavy Toxic scene while Kiara was six months pregnant, saying Kiara stayed calm while others were struggling with headaches and exhaustion.
Huma called her “inspiring” and said Kiara stood “like a rock.” That behind-the-scenes detail gives fans a reason to connect the personal announcement with the upcoming film.
What Kiara has said about motherhood
In recent interviews, Kiara has spoken about how becoming a mother has changed her outlook. On Raj Shamani’s podcast she described herself as a “completely different person” after having Saraayah. Discussing her return to work, she added that motherhood had made her “more of a tigress.” The second pregnancy announcement suggests she is not pressing pause on that identity.
For now, the couple is keeping the details light. There is no due date, no gender reveal, and no elaborate campaign—just a photo, a pair of booties, and a short message. That restraint is part of the appeal.
