Timeline of Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani’s love story

Power couple Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani have been at the top of the Bollywood buzz with their heart-warming love story. From their first meeting to their on-set chemistry, to getting lost in each other's eyes, to keeping their love life away from the public eye, to finally taking the big plunge, their tale has been nothing less than a Bollywood rom-com. And now with the couple all set to embrace parenthood, it is the perfect moment to revisit their relationship timeline.

It was speculated a lot where the couple met for the very first time. Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra crossed paths for the very first time during a wrap up party for Kiara’s film ‘Lust Stories’ in 2018. And if the rumour mill is to be beleived, then sparks flew right from that moment.

The couple was then seen on screen for the very first time in ‘Shershaah.’ Starring as each other’s love interest, the chemistry on screen was already palpable, the love story began off screen as well. Though they kept the relationship under wraps and away from the media’s eyes, fans still became excited to know more about the duo.

Even though the relationship was kept away from the media, certain photos of their secret getaways as a couple ended up getting shared, sparking dating rumours. The duo’s photos from their trip to South Africa in 2019 added fuel to the fire. They hadn’t shared photos, yet the public ended up speculating and putting two and two together.

On the ‘Mission Majnu’ actor’s birthday in January 2023, Kiara for the first time shared a post on her social media account. The photograph featured the couple with the caption “Whatcha lookin at birthday boy.” This post became the first time the two outrightly shared their relationship with the public.

The proposal came straight out of a fairytale. During an episode of ‘Koffee with Karan,’ where Kiara Advani joined the sets as a guest after her wedding, she shared more intimate details about the couple’s life. The actress shared that Sidharth had proposed to her while they were in Rome. She shared that “You know when Sid came to that episode (last year's episode), we had just come back from Rome where he proposed to me. My parents weren't there. It was our first family holiday with me and his family."

The ‘Satyaprem Ki Kathaa’ actress also shared that the actor was quite cheesy with his way of proposing to Kiara, and that he had repeated lines from their co-starring film ‘Shershaah’. She shared that “I was so overwhelmed. Then he starts saying the lines of ‘Shershaah.’ He's like, Dilli ka seedha saadha launda hun (I am a simple boy from Delhi) with the full dialogues of ‘Shershaah’ and I burst out laughing."

The two finally tied the knot and got married on February 7, 2023, in a ceremony held at the Suryagarh Palace, Rajasthan. The royal wedding took place in the Suryagarh Palace in front of their friends and family members. Celebrity friends like Shahid Kapoor, Mira Rajput, Karan Johar, and Isha Ambani also attended the wedding to give the couple their blessings.

Ever since they tied the knot, Kiara and Sidharth have not backed down from showcasing their love for one another publicly. From repeatedly sharing photos and videos online, to collaborating and attending public events, the couple are going as strong as they can be. From sharing Diwali and Holi posts together, the couple also shared photos from their trip sledging during New Years in January 2024.

In February 2025, the couple first shared a video online celebrating their wedding anniversary. Not long after, in the same month, they announced that they would soon be welcoming a little one! In this turn of events, the couple will now become a trio, leaving fans swooning and excited for all the pregnancy updates that are yet to come!
