Bollywood's beloved couple, Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani, recently stepped into a new chapter of their lives by welcoming a baby girl.

The Viral Photos Causing a Stir
Several images have been making the rounds online, creating a buzz among fans. One popular black and white photo shows an emotional Sidharth Malhotra gazing at a baby in his arms. Another features both Sidharth and a smiling Kiara Advani holding an infant. These pictures spread rapidly, with many followers showering the couple with love and blessings for their new family member.
AI-Generated Images: The Truth Revealed
Despite the excitement, the truth behind these trending images is that they are not authentic. The photographs have been identified as AI-generated or digitally manipulated. The child seen in these viral posts is not Sidharth and Kiara’s daughter. While many were caught up in the moment, sharper-eyed fans quickly pointed out that the images were fake. This isn't the first time this has happened, as similar digitally altered photos appeared shortly after the baby's birth was announced.
A Plea for Privacy
The couple, who welcomed their daughter in Mumbai on July 15, has chosen to keep their child away from the public eye. In reality, they have made a specific request to fans and the media for privacy. Following the precedent set by other celebrity couples like Virat Kohli-Anushka Sharma and Deepika Padukone-Ranveer Singh, they released a statement asking the paparazzi not to photograph their newborn.
The statement expressed their gratitude for the well-wishes: “We are so grateful for all the love and wishes; our hearts are truly full." It continued with a clear request: “As we take our first steps into this new journey of parenthood, we hope to enjoy it intimately as a family. It would mean a lot to us if this special time could stay private."
Sidharth and Kiara, who married in 2023, are focused on cherishing these early moments with their daughter privately.
