However, the couple also revealed that they briefly broke up during the film’s shoot, only to rekindle their romance later. Bollywood couple Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra are the latest guests on the last season of Karan Johar’s chat show, Koffee With Karan . The new episode of the show’s final season sees Kiara and Sidharth talk about everything from their marriage to their careers, and how their romance began on the sets of Shershaah.
Kiara and Sidharth met briefly at a party after she had wrapped Lust Stories, following which, in 2019, they started working together on Shershaah, the biopic of war hero Captain Vikram Batra. “In Kargil, where there’s no signal, and there was a lot going on, after pack-up every single night he would call me, and we talked for 30 days straight. Koffee With Karan began in 2003 and has since been a staple, first on TV, and now on streaming.
But on Koffee With Karan, Kiara revealed that before Sidharth left for the film’s Kargil schedule, the two had broken up. So, the official dating started when he was in Kargil,” Kiara revealed. The ninth season of the show is its final, host Karan Johar revealed earlier this year in a promo.
Romance blossomed on the set. For me, you’re either in or you’re out. Like this in between, I don’t understand; I can’t do it. Sidharth agreed with Kiara then and felt they both needed to focus on their careers at the point. “I know that you’re the kind of person that if I commit to, then this will be something solid. The filming continued in Kargil, where Sidharth shot in harsh conditions, almost away from civilisation for a month. Kiara recalled that she was touched by Sidharth staying in touch and calling and texting her every night, and that’s how their relationship resumed. This is Kiara and Sidharth’s first joint appearance on Koffee with Karan. The latest season is streaming on JioHotstar.
The night before the actor left, Kiara told him, “You’re very hot and cold with me. And I’m just in a place in my life where I really need to focus on work, and I cannot allow anything else to get in the way,” he said, adding that they both decided to part ways and see where life takes them.
