Actor Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra welcomed their baby girl, Saraayah, in July, and Sidharth is thoroughly enjoying his new role as a girl dad. He has candidly shared that he has already “lost” many conversations with her, even at a time when she can’t speak yet.

Sidharth on being dad to baby girl

During the weekend, Sidharth joined Barkha Dutt on stage for a conversation about his life and baby girl Saraayah during the We The Women festival in Mumbai. The actor gave a shout-out to his wife Kiara in the middle of the chat.

Sidharth shared that giving his daughter a morning massage has now become a daily ritual. “That’s our routine, waking up with her stretching. Life has definitely changed for the better ever since I became a girl dad. She’s in her best phase right now. I have never lost so many arguments to someone who can’t speak. I realised that I am no longer the hero of the house; she’s the superstar,” the actor shared.

Talking about Kiara’s journey through pregnancy and childbirth, Sidharth shared, “Men always talk about courage, grit and strength. But women demonstrate all those when they become mothers. I saw her go through hormonal and physical changes during pregnancy, and then become the superhero that she is today. I am contributing in the little ways I can by changing diapers, clicking photos, and keeping a happy environment.”

During the chat, he was asked if sees himself becoming an overprotective parent. To this, Sidharth shared that it will depend on the journey that he has with his daughter.
