Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra got married February 7, 2023, in a private ceremony at the Suryagarh Palace in Jaisalmer, with only their close family and friends present. Following the intimate wedding, the couple celebrated with a grand, star-studded reception in Mumbai.
They first met while working together on their 2021 film Shershaah. In the critically acclaimed war drama, Sidharth portrayed Captain Vikram Batra, while Kiara played his girlfriend, Dimple Cheema. It is reported that their relationship blossomed during the film’s shoot.
Despite rumors circulating since 2020 about their relationship, neither Kiara Advani nor Sidharth Malhotra addressed it publicly. However, filmmaker Karan Johar seemed to confirm the relationship in 2022 when he casually mentioned on Koffee With Karan that Sidharth was indeed dating Kiara.
