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 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.
A Wedding Made for the Ages
Sidharth and Kiara tied the knot on February 7, 2023, at the stunning Suryagarh Palace in Jaisalmer, in an intimate ceremony attended by close family and friends including Karan Johar, Shahid Kapoor, Mira Rajput, and Manish Malhotra himself. BollywoodShaadis

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
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. BollywoodShaadis

Why This Story Still Matters
The fact that one of Bollywood’s most-watched wedding videos almost never made it online is a reminder of how much celebrities sacrifice their privacy for the joy of their fans. The Shershaah connection — the film where SidKiara’s love story began — made their wedding all the more poetic and personal.
