Instagram has been awash with throwbacks from 2016 over the past few days. Several Bollywood celebrities have been sharing photos and videos from nearly a decade ago, fondly reminiscing about earlier times. Joining the trend, Kiara Advani recently reacted to a clip from 2016 that shows her meeting Sidharth Malhotra at an event and engaging in a brief conversation. At the time the video was recorded, the two actors were not in a relationship, making the moment a nostalgic and interesting flashback for fans.
How Kiara Advani reacted
Kiara took to her Instagram Stories to reshare a post that captured her meeting Sidharth at a city event. The clip, originally shared by a fan account, showed the two crossing paths at the same venue. Kiara was heading inside as Sidharth stepped out. They paused to exchange a warm hug and smiled at each other. The actors then chatted briefly, appearing relaxed and friendly. During the conversation, Sidharth was seen gesturing toward a particular area inside the venue, seemingly pointing something out to Kiara before they went their separate ways as fans eagerly watched the moment online later afterwards.
The video was accompanied by a caption that read, “Since everyone is in their 2016 flashback era, here’s Sid Kiara in 2016 blissfully unaware that after 10 years they will have a baby together.” Kiara wrote in the caption, “Aww and just like that 2016 feels special now.”
Sidharth and Kiara’s love story
