While fans are waiting to see Kiara Advani on screen in Toxic: A Fairytale for Grownups, the actress is currently enjoying life as a mother. Kiara and her husband, Sidharth Malhotra, welcomed their daughter Saraayah on July 15, 2025.
During a recent appearance on Raj Shamani’s podcast, Kiara spoke openly about the kind of guidance she hopes to give her daughter when she grows older.
Talking about relationships and life choices, Kiara said, “I would want her to see a very full life. I don’t want her to feel like she has to only date one person or she has to… Like, there’s no restriction of if you want to get married, get married and if you don’t want to get married, don’t get married…”
The actress also reflected on her own past experiences and admitted that she once believed she would marry every person she dated. However, she said life eventually turned out differently.
Kiara shared, “Life doesn’t turn out like that. Thank god it didn’t turn out like that because I’m very happy with who god chose as my eventual life partner (Sidharth Malhotra). But all those relations that you have in your life growing up, they all teach you something. They eventually make you the person that you are…”
She further explained that she wants Saraayah to understand that life experiences, including mistakes, are important for personal growth.
Kiara added, “I’ll tell her (Saraayah) that it’s okay to experience life in totality, to decide what you want and what you don’t want, and you will make mistakes along the way. You will make some choices that, you may, in hindsight, feel were not the best, but it’s how you learn from those and what you take from those.”
