Kiara Advani Celebrates Her 34th Birthday: A Look Back at How She First Met Sidharth Malhotra

Bollywood actor Kiara Advani is celebrating a milestone 34th birthday today, and it holds even more significance as it marks her first as a new mother. Having welcomed her daughter earlier this year with husband and fellow actor Sidharth Malhotra, Kiara is embracing a new phase of life — one filled with motherhood, love, and family.

Over the years, Kiara has emerged as one of the most admired names in the Hindi film industry. From powerful performances in films like Shershaah and Kabir Singh to her charming off-screen persona, she has carved a niche for herself in both cinema and the hearts of her fans. However, one of the most talked-about aspects of her journey has been her relationship with Sidharth Malhotra — a love story that eventually led to marriage and now, parenthood.

On this special occasion, fans are also reminiscing about how the couple first met — a moment that was revealed by filmmaker and close friend Karan Johar. While many believed Karan played cupid, the reality was more organic and spontaneous.

Back in 2023, months after Kiara and Sidharth tied the knot, Karan shared the story on his chat show while speaking with actors Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Malhotra. “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,” Karan recalled.

When Varun humorously interjected to note that Kiara is now Sidharth’s wife, the latter calmly responded, “It's fine. I am not offended. She did shoot it.”

Karan continued narrating the chance meeting, saying, “So we shot the scene and we wrapped the film. We went to Amrit, a friend of ours, he was having a birthday party. And I was meeting him also for the first time because Neha Dhupia took us. We all went there. There was Vicky, there was Kiara, there was me, 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.”

Sidharth added to the story, saying, “I met Vicky, Kiara and Amrit all together, for the first time.”

Karan concluded, “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. So, I didn't make them meet. It just so happened that they met. You know, it was an eventuality.”

The couple’s story, from that serendipitous evening to their marriage and now parenting, has been heartwarming and inspiring. Today, as Kiara celebrates her birthday surrounded by love, her journey stands as a testament to destiny, hard work, and the joy of companionship.

Wishing Kiara Advani a joyful birthday and a year filled with love, success, and beautiful memories.
