Introducing Riya Thakkar to his fans, he shared a picture of themselves, and wrote a long note in the caption. He further revealed that they met in 2024.

“2024. Two strangers, two lives, and a meeting neither of us knew would become such a beautiful part of our story. There was no plan, no script. We simply found each other, and somewhere between the ordinary days, the quiet conversations, the laughter and everything in between, something beautiful began to grow. For a long time, this was just ours. Something we quietly lived, cherished, and let become what it was meant to be. And sometimes, when something has brought so much love, warmth and meaning into your life, you find yourself wanting to let a little of that light out into the world. So, here we are. A little piece of something that has meant so much to us. Somehow, we found each other. And for that, we'll always be grateful. -R & S," read his note.

Many from the film and television industry congratulated the lovebirds. As for how he's feeling in the new phase of his life, Siddharth himself had a reaction. Replying to a comment "How are you feeling bro with this new chapter", he wrote, “shaking” with a teary eyed emoji.

Siddharth began his career as a child actor. He appeared in the Aamir Khan-starrer Dhoom 3 (2013), and then shows such as Maha Kumbh: Ek Rahasaya, Ek Kahaani and Chakravartin Ashok Samrat.

He writes for HT City, keeping pace with an industry where news cycles expire long before the popcorn gets cold. He completed his graduation in English Honours from Kirori Mal College, followed by a Master’s degree in English Literature-effectively training his brain to over-analyse classic texts before applying those exact same skills to 3-hour Bollywood blockbusters. He got into the profession when he had barely graduated from college and has been at HT ever since. At HT, Rishabh reviews films with a simple rule: skip the dense academic jargon and get straight to the point. Beyond reviews, as Assistant Editor, he helps navigate the broader circus of showbiz, tracking everything from OTT shifts to sudden box office panics. In a beat driven by loud PR machinery and carefully scripted answers, Rishabh prefers cutting through the noise to focus on how stories get made and why trends shift. When he isn’t writing against a deadline, he is usually sitting in a dark theater, compulsively memorising dialogues. For Rishabh, analysing movies isn't just a day job- it’s a habit he couldn't turn off even if he tried.Read More
