Taking to Instagram on Wednesday afternoon in a joint post, the couple shared a picture of their hands cradling a pair of knitted baby booties, accompanied by the hand of their one-year-old daughter, Saraayah.
The caption read: “Blessed once again with the greatest gift of all 👼 Our hearts are so full of love and gratitude ♥️🙏🏻🧿”
The Creative Announcement: Continuing the Tradition
The visual announcement mirrors the aesthetic the couple chose when announcing their first pregnancy in early 2025:
The Booties Motif: The couple once again featured tiny, hand-knit baby booties, updated this time to include the hand of their daughter Saraayah resting alongside theirs.
Saraayah’s Milestone: The couple welcomed Saraayah on July 15, 2025, at Reliance Hospital in Mumbai. Advani had notably continued filming through seven months of her first pregnancy and walked the Met Gala 2025 red carpet while expecting.
Industry Fraternity Reacts
Within minutes of going live, the social media post drew an outpouring of congratulatory messages from across the film fraternity:
Karan Johar, Sidharth Malhotra’s long-time mentor, was among the earliest to respond, writing: “Love love you ♥️♥️♥️ God bless this beautiful family!”
Peers and close friends, including Alia Bhatt, Katrina Kaif, Varun Dhawan, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and Shahid Kapoor, flooded the comments with blessings and heart emojis.
Industry Take:
Since tying the knot in Jaisalmer in February 2023 following their on-screen pairing in Shershaah (2021), Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra have remained one of Hindi cinema's most closely followed couples. Today's announcement caps off a remarkable phase for the family, with both actors successfully managing major box-office projects while continuing to prioritize their growing home life.
