Kiara Advani recently opened up about the kind of relationship advice she would like to give her daughter Saraayah when she grows older. Speaking on Raj Shamani’s podcast, the actress said she wants her daughter to live life freely and make her own choices without pressure about relationships or marriage.
Kiara shared that she does not want Saraayah to feel restricted by society’s expectations. According to her, people should have the freedom to explore life, understand relationships and decide for themselves what makes them happy.
Talking about the same, 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 relationships and said that every relationship taught her something valuable. Kiara admitted that in the past, she believed every person she dated would eventually become her life partner.
She said, “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…”
Kiara further explained that she wants her daughter to understand that making mistakes is a normal part of life. She said people learn from their experiences and grow stronger through both good and bad decisions.
Sharing her thoughts on parenting, Kiara said, “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.”
Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra welcomed their daughter Saraayah on July 15, 2025. Even though the couple has not revealed their daughter’s face publicly, they often speak lovingly about her during interviews and on social media.
Recently, Kiara celebrated her first Mother’s Day after becoming a mother, and Sidharth surprised her with pancakes at home.
On the work front, Kiara Advani will next be seen in Toxic: A Fairytale for Grownups directed by Geetu Mohandas. The film also stars Yash, Nayanthara, Huma Qureshi and Tara Sutaria. The movie was earlier scheduled to release on June 4, 2026, but its new release date has not yet been announced.
