Bollywood’s most beloved couple, **Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani**, have given fans countless dreamy moments — but the viral wedding video we all gushed over nearly didn’t happen at all. Designer Manish Malhotra has now revealed the behind-the-scenes chaos that almost kept that magical footage off the internet forever

## What Happened Behind the Scenes?

In a candid revelation, Kiara Advani confirmed there was a significant debate between her and Sidharth about posting their wedding video online. Sidharth, being a deeply private person, wasn’t entirely on board with sharing such an intimate moment with the world. [BollywoodShaadis](https://www.bollywoodshaadis.com/articles/kiara-advani-reveals-she-and-sidharth-malhotra-had-a-lot-of-debate-about-posting-their-wedding-video-42141) Designer Manish Malhotra, who was not just their wedding couturier but also a close family friend present on the big day, played a pivotal role in convincing the couple to share the footage.

It’s a classic case of private love vs. public joy — and thankfully, love for their fans won.

## The *Ranjha* Moment That Broke the Internet

The video opened with Kiara walking under a traditional *phoolon ki chaadar* as a specially rewritten version of *Ranjha* from *Shershaah* played softly in the background — a song The Wedding Filmer initially resisted using, calling it too sad, until Kiara famously insisted, “But it’s *our* song!” [Khaleej Times](https://www.khaleejtimes.com/entertainment/watch-sidharth-malhotra-kiara-advanis-heartwarming-wedding-video-goes-viral)

Kiara later revealed that Sidharth’s now-iconic watch gesture during her entry was completely unscripted — she was genuinely late, and Karan Johar hilariously recounted how the entire baaraat had started losing patience before she finally appeared.
