Couple announces pregnancy on Instagram
The couple shared a joint post on Instagram featuring the image of their hands placed one over the other with a tiny white sock resting on top. The caption accompanying the post stated, “Blessed once again with the greatest gift of all. Our hearts are so full of love and gratitude.” Following the announcement, film industry colleagues and fans, including Karan Johar, Manish Malhotra, Bhumi Pednekar, and Alia Bhatt, shared congratulatory messages in the comments section.
This pregnancy announcement comes months after the couple welcomed their daughter Saraayah on July 15, 2025.

Motherhood Perspective and Career Updates
Discussing her experience of parenthood on Raj Shamani’s podcast, Advani stated that she feels like a completely different person compared to her life before having a child. In another conversation regarding her return to work, she described herself as feeling more like a “tigress” following motherhood.
Both actors continue active schedules in the film industry. Advani recently appeared in the film Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown Ups, headlined by Yash and directed by Geetu Mohandas. The project also featured Nayanthara, Huma Qureshi, Rukmini Vasanth, and Tara Sutaria, though it received mixed reactions and did not perform well at the box office. Meanwhile, Malhotra starred in The Vvaan: Force of the Forest alongside Tamannaah Bhatia. That film recorded a solid first week at the box office in India before slowing down against newer releases, including Drishyam 3: The Conclusion, accumulating approximately Rs 55.02 crore net domestically and around Rs 69.14 crore globally, according to data cited by Sacnilk.com.
Actors meet on Shershaah and marry in Jaisalmer
Advani and Malhotra formed a close bond during the production of their 2021 Amazon Prime Video war drama Shershaah, where Malhotra portrayed Param Vir Chakra awardee Captain Vikram Batra and Advani played his girlfriend, Dimple Cheema. Although speculation regarding their relationship surfaced around 2020, the actors kept their romance private until Karan Johar publicly acknowledged their relationship on an episode of Koffee With Karan in 2022. The couple subsequently married in an intimate ceremony held at Suryagarh Palace in Jaisalmer on February 7, 2023.
