Actor Sidharth Malhotra recently shared a simple and heartwarming moment from his life as a father, which quickly gained attention on social media. In his latest Instagram post, he posted a picture of himself wearing a small bow clip in his hair. The photo gave fans a small look into his daily life with his baby girl.
Along with the picture, he wrote, “Tell me you’re a girl dad without telling me you’re a girl dad 🎀”. The post became very popular in a short time. Many fans and celebrities reacted to it. Actors like Janhvi Kapoor, Bhumi Pednekar and Arjun Kapoor were among those who responded.
Sidharth and his wife Kiara Advani became parents on 15 July 2025, when they welcomed their daughter at a hospital in Mumbai. A few months later, in November, the couple shared a joint post to announce their daughter’s name. They wrote, “From our prayers, to our arms our divine blessing, our princess, Saraayah Malhotra सरायाह मल्होत्रा,” along with a folded emoji and a red heart emoji. They also shared a picture showing their hands gently holding their baby’s small feet, which were covered in white crocheted socks.
After their daughter’s birth, the couple decided to keep her life private. They have shared only a few moments publicly and have asked fans and the media to respect their privacy.
In an interview with Mojo Story, Sidharth spoke about his experience as a father. He said, “Men always talk about courage, grit and strength. But women demonstrate all those when they become mothers. I saw her go through hormonal and physical changes during pregnancy, and then become the superhero that she is today. I am contributing in the little ways I can by changing diapers, clicking photos and keeping a happy environment.”
Sidharth and Kiara’s relationship started during the filming of Shershaah. They later got married on February 7, 2023, in a traditional ceremony held at Suryagarh Palace. The wedding was attended by close friends and family. Since then, they have kept their personal life mostly private and share updates occasionally.
