Bollywood’s beloved star Kiara Advani turns 34 today, and this year’s celebration is more special than ever, it’s her first birthday as a mother. With her husband Sidharth Malhotra and their newborn daughter by her side, Kiara steps into a new chapter filled with love, family, and heartwarming memories.
On this occasion, let's rewind to the unexpected moment that sparked one of Bollywood’s most beautiful love stories.
Not Karan Johar’s Matchmaking-But Close
While many assume that Karan Johar, the industry's resident cupid, played a direct role in setting up Kiara and Sidharth, the truth is a touch more serendipitous. Back in 2023, after the couple tied the knot, Karan opened up about how their first meeting happened—not by design, but by chance.
In a candid chat on his show with Varun Dhawan and Sidharth, KJo recalled the day they wrapped up the shoot for Lust Stories, a pivotal moment in Kiara’s early career. That very evening, Karan and Kiara attended a birthday party hosted by their friend Amrit, along with Neha Dhupia and Vicky Kaushal. Karan casually invited Sidharth to join them, not knowing this would be a defining moment.
The Spark That Lit the Flame
Sidharth recalled, “I met Vicky, Kiara, and Amrit all together, for the first time.” And just like that, fate brought them face-to-face, without any orchestrated setup. As Karan put it, “It was an eventuality.”
Today, A Full Circle Moment
From that spontaneous meeting to building a life together and now embracing parenthood, Kiara and Sidharth's journey is nothing short of a fairytale. As Kiara celebrates surrounded by love, we wish her a year filled with joy, magic, and new beginnings.
