Sidharth Malhotra says marriage with Kiara Advani 'was meant to be'; she talks about her 'wedding glow'

Actors Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani talked about their lives post wedding – while Kiara spoke about her bridal 'glow', Sidharth said it felt like ‘real Vikram and Dimple’ in some parallel universe 'came together'.

In a recent interview, newlyweds Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani opened up about their marriage. Sidharth said after their 2021 film Shershaah, fans had given him and his 'wife' Kiara so much love that it seems their marriage was 'meant to be'. He said their wedding 'felt like the real Vikram and Dimple, in some parallel universe, came together'.

Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani got married in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan on February 7, 2023.

Karan Johar-backed film, Shershaah, is based on life of Param Vir Chakra-awardee Vikram Batra, and also showed his relationship with girlfriend Dimple Cheema. It starred Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani in the lead. Despite the little amount of time that Dimple and Vikram actually spent with each other, the film was praised for their love story. Sidharth spoke about their film in a recent interview.

Sidharth told News18: “It felt like the real Vikram and Dimple, in some parallel universe, came together. Shershaah has given me so much love and my wife too, so what else do you need from a film? (laughs) I think it was meant to be. Much like us, Vishal Batra (Vikram Batra’s win brother) was extremely emotional and happy when he came to our wedding.” In the same interview, Kiara said, “The (post-wedding) glow is real. This new life is wonderful. I’m very happy.”
