Actor Kiara Advani has spoken openly about the emotional side of motherhood, revealing how husband Sidharth Malhotra became her strongest support system after the birth of their daughter, Saraayah Malhotra, in July 2025.
During a recent conversation with Raj Shamani, Kiara reflected on the major emotional transition women go through after childbirth. The actor admitted that the postpartum phase brought unexpected emotional highs and lows, making even small moments feel overwhelming. According to Kiara, motherhood changes a woman’s sense of identity in ways that are difficult to explain, and she believes many people often overlook the emotional impact of the journey.
The actor also shared her thoughts on how men are rarely guided about the emotional needs of women during pregnancy and postpartum recovery. She said most discussions around parenting focus on practical responsibilities, while emotional care for mothers is not spoken about enough.
Recalling that period, Kiara revealed that Sidharth was balancing work commitments while also trying to be present for her and their newborn daughter. Despite hectic schedules and late-night shoots, he made sure to spend time with them before heading back to work the next morning.
One gesture from Sidharth, suggested by their daughter’s pediatrician, stayed close to Kiara’s heart. She revealed that he would take her out for evening drives every night, giving her space to breathe, relax, and express her feelings freely without being judged or advised.
