Kiara Advani, who welcomed her daughter Saraayah with husband Sidharth Malhotra last year, has spoken about her motherhood journey and the lessons she has learned from her parents. Advani said she seeks validation from her parents, even after achieving stardom, and hopes her daughter will not inherit her people-pleasing nature.
Advani reflected on her own upbringing, saying her parents ensured she and her brother learned the right values and were always present for their family.
The actress confessed she hopes Saraayah will be curious, observant, loving, and confident enough to make her own choices.
In a recent interview, Advani shared her thoughts on motherhood and her desire to provide emotional security for her daughter, saying she wants Saraayah to feel safe enough to tell her anything without fear. The actress and her husband revealed their daughter's name, Saraayah Malhotra, on November 28, 2025, describing her as a 'divine blessing' and their 'princess'.
The couple is expected to continue sharing updates on their daughter's life and their experiences as parents in the coming months.
