Sidharth Malhotra–Kiara Advani’s Unseen 2016 Video Goes Viral, Fans Call It ‘Destiny at Work’

An old video of Bollywood couple Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani from 2016 has resurfaced online, sending fans into a nostalgic frenzy. The clip, recorded nearly a decade ago, shows the two actors casually bumping into each other, sharing a warm smile, a handshake and a brief hug — years before their love story began and long before they became parents to daughter Saraayah Malhotra.

The video has gone viral amid the ongoing “2016 flashback” trend on social media, where celebrities and fans alike are revisiting moments from a decade ago. At the time, Sidharth was busy with the Dream Team tour and promoting Kapoor & Sons alongside Alia Bhatt and Fawad Khan. Kiara, meanwhile, was still new to the industry and preparing for the release of M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story, her second film.

In the clip, Sidharth is seen walking out of a building as Kiara stands outside. The two exchange smiles, greet each other warmly and hug — a moment fans now see as a sweet foreshadowing of their future together. The viral post was captioned: “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.”

Reacting to the video, Kiara reshared it on her Instagram Stories, writing, “Aww and just like that 2016 feels special now 😂.” Fans flooded the comments with heart emojis and emotional messages, calling it “God’s plan” and “destiny in motion.”

Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani reportedly fell in love while filming Shershaah in 2021. After dating privately for nearly two years, the couple tied the knot in a grand wedding in Jaisalmer in 2023. In 2025, they welcomed their baby girl, Saraayah, marking a new chapter in their love story — one that fans now feel began long before they even knew it themselves.
