Bollywood actors Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra have revealed that they briefly separated before getting married in 2023, as they were at different stages of their lives and had different priorities.
Speaking on 'Koffee With Karan', Kiara said Sidharth was focused on advancing his career while she wanted clarity about their relationship. Before he left for Kargil to shoot 'Shershaah', she confronted him over his inconsistent behaviour.
Sidharth told her that he wanted to commit to her but needed to focus on his career. Although they decided to take a break, he continued calling and messaging her during the shooting, leaving Kiara confused about his earlier decision.
Sidharth said their relationship experienced several ups and downs, including periods of separation and reconciliation. After three to four years, they became certain about spending their lives together.
The couple married in Jaisalmer in 2023 and welcomed their daughter, Saraayah, in July 2025. In October 2026, they announced that they were expecting their second child.
