Recently, Kiara appeared on Raj Shamani’s latest podcast episode, where she opened up about her struggles with postpartum after welcoming her baby girl with husband Sidharth Malhotra. Kiara said, “Nobody talks about postpartum, and it should be spoken about more… It (motherhood) is such an identity shift. It is such a new world, and in that moment, it is difficult for the woman going through it to give herself grace. It takes time. It has taken me six months… In the past six months, I have just told myself: Just give yourself grace.” “Because you are doing so much for everyone else that you forget about the relationship that you need to have with yourself. The things you need to tell yourself. For me, my whole life, I have been so other-centric that what's changed since my baby was born is that I finally found time to nurture that relationship that I need to have with myself. And it is probably the best thing that I have done for myself. After 34 years, I have learnt to set boundaries. I have learnt not to do critical conversations with myself, because sometimes you are over-critical about everything that you are doing. I have learnt not to focus on fear. I had to teach myself all of these things in these six months,” Kiara added. During the podcast, Kiara mentioned that “everything in you as a person, as a personality, everything changes” after motherhood. Last year in July, Sidharth and Kiara took to Instagram to share the happy news of their baby girl’s arrival. Their message read, “Our hearts are full and our world forever changed. We are blessed with a baby girl. – Kiara & Sidharth.” Following the announcement, the couple requested photographers to avoid taking pictures of their newborn. Later in the year, Kiara and Sidharth took to Instagram to reveal the name of their newborn daughter: Saraayah Malhotra. The couple got married in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, in 2023. In 2021, they starred together in the war film Shershaah.What’s next for Kiara

Narayana and Yash under their respective banners, KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations. It has been shot simultaneously in Kannada and English. The film was supposed to be released on June 4, but it has been pushed.
