How Kargil's isolation sparked Sidharth & Kiara's romance
11 Nov
Summary
- Romance blossomed during Shershaah's tough Kargil shoot.
- Actors paused their relationship before the demanding schedule.
- Daily calls from Kargil officially began their dating period.
The challenging filming of 'Shershaah' in Kargil proved to be the unexpected crucible for Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani's romance. Initially, the actors had agreed to put their relationship on hold to concentrate on the demanding, high-altitude schedule. Sidharth had expressed needing to focus solely on work, leading to a temporary parting before the tough shoot began.
However, the isolation and difficult conditions in Kargil had a contrary effect. Despite the lack of connectivity, the distance between them only intensified their bond. Kiara revealed that Sidharth called her every night after pack-up for 30 consecutive days. This consistent communication during the Kargil schedule marked the true beginning of their official dating period, defying their initial agreement to pause.
Their love story, which began on screen in 'Shershaah', thus found its off-screen genesis in the remote landscapes of Kargil. The couple later married on February 7, 2023, in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan. Karan Johar, who initially brought them together for the film, was a guest at their wedding, underscoring his role in their journey.
