New Delhi, December 08, 2025: Bollywood actress Kiara Advani has made her highly anticipated first public appearance since welcoming her daughter, Saraayah Malhotra, with husband Sidharth Malhotra in July. The new mom was spotted in Mumbai on Monday, looking radiant and stylish as she seemed to be heading to a professional engagement, signaling her return to work after her maternity break.
Kiara stepped out months after the birth of her daughter, who arrived in mid-July 2025. The couple, known for keeping their private life close to their chest, recently delighted fans by revealing their baby girl’s beautiful name: Saraayah Malhotra. The name, which has Hebrew origins, sweetly translates to “Princess of God.“
The actress’s first sighting quickly took over social media, with fans celebrating her comeback look. Kiara opted for a chic and effortless denim-on-denim outfit. She wore a loose, powder-blue denim shirt, partially off-the-shoulder, paired with matching denim shorts. She completed the relaxed yet fashionable ensemble with sleek silver sneakers, a simple ponytail, and a minimal makeup look that perfectly highlighted her natural ‘new mom glow.’
Kiara’s bright smile and confident wave to the gathering paparazzi showed her ease and excitement about stepping back into the public eye. When cameramen enthusiastically inquired about her daughter’s well-being, the actress responded with a reassuring smile and an ‘okay’ gesture, confirming that baby Saraayah is doing well.
The public appearance follows a period of quiet privacy that the couple maintained since Saraayah’s arrival. Sidharth and Kiara, who tied the knot in a dreamy ceremony in February 2023, announced the birth of their “divine blessing” with a heartfelt joint post on social media. They shared a touching photo of their hands cradling their daughter’s sock-clad tiny feet, mirroring an image they had used for their pregnancy announcement.
More recently, Sidharth Malhotra opened up about the joy and transformation of fatherhood. He affectionately described his wife as a “superhero” for the strength she displayed during pregnancy and childbirth, an experience he called “eye-opening.” He also joked that he is no longer the “hero of the house,” a title that now firmly belongs to his baby daughter, Saraayah.
Kiara’s return to the limelight has been met with an outpouring of love and excitement from fans and industry colleagues. The actress had previously hinted at her return to her career with a cryptic Instagram post featuring her shoes and a motivating caption: “Next chapter, more fire. Let’s do this.” With her first outing confirming that the actress is ready to balance motherhood and her professional commitments, fans are eagerly anticipating her next on-screen project, which is rumored to include the upcoming film Don 3 alongside Ranveer Singh. Her graceful and glowing public debut has set the perfect tone for this new, exciting chapter in her life.
