Kiara and Sidharth met briefly at a party after she had wrapped Lust Stories, following which, in 2019, they started working together on Shershaah, the biopic of war hero Captain Vikram Batra. Romance blossomed on the set. But on Koffee With Karan, Kiara revealed that before Sidharth left for the film's Kargil schedule, the two had broken up. The night before the actor left, Kiara told him, “You’re very hot and cold with me. For me, you’re either in or you’re out. Like this in between, I don’t understand; I can’t do it.”

Sidharth agreed with Kiara then and felt they both needed to focus on their careers at the point. “I know that you’re the kind of person that if I commit to, then this will be something solid. And I’m just in a place in my life where I really need to focus on work, and I cannot allow anything else to get in the way,” he said, adding that they both decided to part ways and see where life takes them.

How Kiara and Sidharth reunited

Kiara and Sidharth kept their relationship under wraps before tying the knot in 2023 in a traditional Hindu ceremony in Jaisalmer. They welcomed their daughter, Saraayah, in July 2025. In October 2026, the couple announced that Kiara was pregnant again.
