Sidharth Malhotra recalls his mother's wish to have a daughter in the family: "Meri maa ko abhi bhi umeed hai ki ek toh ladki ho"

Since the couple was recently seen with their respective mothers at a clinic earlier this week, the touching update has caused a stir on social media.

Bollywood couple Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra have reportedly welcomed a baby girl on Tuesday, July 15, 2025, according to the latest news reports.

Since the couple was recently seen with their respective mothers at a clinic earlier this week, the touching update has caused a stir on social media.

Fans celebrated Sidharth's transition into a loving father by posting heartfelt posts and congratulating him on social media shortly after the baby's arrival. The actor's sincere wish to be a "girl-dad," which he frequently shared with his mother Rimma Malhotra, was another thing that many remembered from his previous interviews.

Sidharth had previously discussed his mother's long-standing desire to have a girl in the family in an honest interview with comedian Zakir Khan.

He said, "Humlog do bhai the aur mom humesha bolti thi koi toh shaadi karo, bachche karo. Mere bhai ka bacha hua toh vo bhi ladka, nephew hi hai ek. Meri maa ko abhi bhi umeed hai ki ek toh ladki ho parivaar mein (We were two brothers, and our mom used to always say, “At least one of you get married, have kids.” My brother had a child, and it was a boy — so I have just one nephew. My mother still hopes that at least one girl will be born in the family)."

Along with his Student of the Year co-stars Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan, who are also parents to baby girls, Raha and Lara, respectively, Sidharth was warmly welcomed by online users to join the "girl-dad club."

Fans now find the trio's real-life parenting experiences to be just as charming as their on-screen camaraderie.

Fans were ecstatic when Sidharth and Kiara revealed their pregnancy in February of this year. On February 7, 2023, the couple exchanged vows in a sumptuous and private ceremony at Jaisalmer, Rajasthan's Suryagarh Palace. After their wedding, family, friends, and many movie stars attended a lavish reception in Mumbai.

Now that their baby girl has arrived, the couple is starting a lovely new chapter, and fans couldn’t be more thrilled for them.
