Key Highlights

  • Throwback moment: Kiara Advani once shared a funny ‘Kabir Singh’ set story on ‘Koffee With Karan’.
  • The long wait: She waited eight hours on just her third or fourth shooting day while Shahid Kapoor’s shoes were discussed.
  • Karan agrees: Host Karan Johar sided with Kiara, saying he would have reacted the same way.
  • The film: Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s 2019 hit ‘Kabir Singh’ is a remake of his Telugu film ‘Arjun Reddy’.
  • Baby news: Kiara and Sidharth Malhotra announced their second pregnancy on October 7, 2026.

Film sets often come with long waits, but Kiara Advani’s experience on ‘Kabir Singh’ tested her patience in a way she still laughs about. On ‘Koffee With Karan’, where she appeared alongside her co-star Shahid Kapoor, the actress revealed that she once spent an entire day waiting for a scene because of a discussion about Shahid’s footwear.

The Shoe Debate

During the Bingo segment of the episode, Kiara said, “It was my third or fourth day of shooting, and I was made to wait for eight hours because there was discussion of what shoes Shahid would wear in the next scene.”

Frustrated after the long wait, Kiara playfully smacked Shahid on the head, a moment that left the room laughing. Host Karan Johar was firmly on her side, joking that he too would have reacted the same way if made to wait eight hours over a shoe discussion.

Why the Story Still Makes Fans Laugh

For a newcomer in her early days on a big project, waiting eight hours could have been intimidating. Instead, Kiara turned it into a light-hearted memory. The story also reflects the easy bond the two actors shared, and their comfort with each other may have helped their on-screen chemistry in the film.

About ‘Kabir Singh’

Directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, ‘Kabir Singh’ released in 2019 and became one of the biggest hits of the year. It was produced by Bhushan Kumar and Krishan Kumar under T-Series Films, along with Murad Khetani and Ashwin Varde under Cine1 Studios. The film is a remake of Vanga’s own Telugu blockbuster ‘Arjun Reddy’, which starred Vijay Deverakonda.

Kiara’s Growing Family

Away from the throwback, Kiara is in a new phase of her personal life. On October 7, 2026, she and husband Sidharth Malhotra announced they are expecting their second child. Their post showed their daughter Saraayah holding a pair of ivory knitted booties, with the caption, “Blessed once again with the greatest gift of all… Our hearts are so full of love and gratitude.”

Kiara and Sidharth reportedly fell in love on the sets of ‘Shershaah’ and married on February 7, 2023, in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan. They welcomed their first child, Saraayah Malhotra, on July 15, 2025.

Why It Matters

Throwback stories like this keep resurfacing because they show a candid side of stars that audiences rarely see. They also remind fans that even big film sets have their share of everyday chaos.

What Comes Next

As Kiara and Sidharth prepare to welcome their second baby, fans are eagerly waiting for more family updates. On the work front, Sidharth’s ‘Vvan’ is currently playing in theatres.
