Kiara Advani She recently opened up about her relationship with her husband Siddharth Malhotra and why couples consciously choose to keep their romance out of sight in the years before they get married.Talking about maintaining privacy in their relationship, the actor shared that even though people close to them were always aware of their connection, they never felt the need to discuss it publicly.“We never hid our relationship from people close to us; we didn’t talk about it publicly. We are both private people by nature,” Kiara told Raj Shaman.Explaining the reason for the decision, the actor added that they wanted to protect a part of their personal life from constant public discussion.“Sometimes it’s easier to keep your personal life personal because you don’t want to become everyone’s dinner table conversation,” she shared.Kiara admitted that public curiosity about their relationship was always there; however, both she and Sidharth wanted their work to remain the center of attention rather than their personal lives.“Obviously people were curious, but we wanted to keep the focus on the work. Also, sometimes you just want to live normally, go out to dinner and not feel like you’re being watched all the time,” he added.
“Sidharth thinks I do a lot”
During the interaction, Kiara also revealed a habit of hers that often annoys Sidharth.“He thinks I overdo diversity,” he said with a laugh. “If he tells me something important, I might turn on the air conditioner, check the baby, make coffee, and it feels like I’m not listening. But I actually process things better when I’m multitasking.”The actress also credits her parents for shaping her understanding of love, marriage and friendship. According to Kiara, seeing her parents function as a team influenced what she wanted in her relationship.“I grew up seeing my parents as a team. If my mom says no to something, I couldn’t go to my dad for another answer. They were united, and I really admire that. I want that same sense of teamwork in my marriage,” she said.
Kiara Advani on heartbreak, motherhood and emotional healing
Kiara also spoke candidly about heartbreak and emotional vulnerability, sharing that she believes in fully processing emotions rather than suppressing them.“I allow myself to fully feel every emotion. Whether it’s sadness, anger, heartbreak, jealousy, I think it’s important not to suppress emotions or label them as negative. Feel them fully, understand them, and then let them pass through you,” he explains.The actress also admitted that one of her biggest fears these days is losing her cool, especially after embracing motherhood.“Technology scares me sometimes, especially how easily it can be used. And personally, my biggest fear is losing my cool. Motherhood makes you emotionally vulnerable, and I feel like my mind has to become my friend, not my enemy,” she said.Speaking about the values she hopes to pass on to her daughter Saraayah in the future, Kiara said she wants her child to grow up feeling free to make her own decisions.“I want her to fully experience life and make her own choices. I don’t want her to feel limited by preconceived ideas of how life or relationships are ‘supposed’ to be. As parents, our job is to create a safe environment and trust her on her journey,” she concluded.Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra welcomed their daughter Saraayah Malhotra on July 15, 2025. The couple revealed her name on November 28, 2025, describing her as a “blessing from God” and their “princess”.
