Sidharth Malhotra is keeping his sense of humour intact after a leg injury put him in a medical walking boot. The actor shared a photo of his lower leg on Instagram Stories with a caption that played on the timing of his latest release: “I took ‘break a leg’ too seriously.”
What we know so far
Sidharth did not say how he was hurt or give any detail about the severity of the injury. The photo shows only the boot, and the post stops at the joke — there is no update yet on whether the injury affects any upcoming schedules.
- Sidharth Malhotra shared a leg-injury photo in an Instagram Story.
- The caption made light of the timing around The Vvaan.
- No cause or recovery timeline has been shared.
Why the timing stands out
The injury arrives during a busy chapter. Sidharth’s latest release, The Vvaan – Force of the Forrest, opened in theatres on September 25 and has collected around ₹89.40 crore worldwide in 18 days. That box-office run is already a talking point for his fans, and his personal news has added to the chatter.
Kiara Advani recently announced that the couple are expecting their second child. In a joint post, the couple said they felt “blessed once again with the greatest gift of all.”
The film behind the moment
The Vvaan – Force of the Forrest is directed by Deepak Kumar Mishra and also stars Tamannaah Bhatia. It is a folk-inspired story rooted in Indian mythology, and its September 25 release gives Sidharth’s “break a leg” caption an extra layer for Bollywood watchers.
A full year for the Malhotras
Sidharth and Kiara first worked together on Shershaah in 2021, where they played Captain Vikram Batra and Dimple Cheema. They married in Jaisalmer in February 2023 and welcomed their daughter Saraayah in July 2025. Kiara’s recent holiday photo dump gave fans a glimpse of family time without revealing their daughter’s face.
Kiara’s holiday post also included a poolside moment and a photo of the family’s footprints in the sand, keeping little Saraayah’s face out of frame.
What happens next
There is no update on upcoming appearances yet, so fans will be watching whether Sidharth steps out in the boot or sticks to social media updates. The actor has not hinted at a recovery timeline, and the next word will likely come on his own feed.
