This announcement sparked curiosity among fans, who are eager to know what the name means. A report by Hindustan Times states that, as per the actors’ team, the name is derived from the Hebrew words ‘Sarah’ and ‘Saraya’, and it means ‘God’s princess’. An internet search suggests that it could also mean ‘noblewoman’, ‘palace’ or ‘noble dwelling’.
Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra first met in 2018 at a film party, but it was during the shooting of Shershaah in 2021 that they grew close. Their on-screen chemistry led to rumors, but the two kept things private for a long time. In early 2023, Kiara finally confirmed the relationship with a playful birthday post for Sidharth. A few weeks later, on February 7, 2023, they got married in a beautiful, intimate ceremony at Suryagarh Palace in Jaisalmer.
The couple welcomed their first child, a baby girl, on July 15, 2025. They shared the happy news on Instagram with a heartwarming pink announcement card that read, “Our hearts are full and our world forever changed. We are blessed with a baby girl.” The message was simple, emotional, and full of gratitude. The design featured delicate heart balloons and soft pastel elements, with “Baby Girl” written in elegant gold script.
