Kiara Advani, the popular Indian actress, recently opened up about her motherhood journey during an episode of the Raj Shamani podcast. She welcomed her daughter, Saraayah, with husband Sidharth Malhotra on July 15, 2025. Kiara emphasized the need for emotional security in parenting, stating that she does not want her daughter to become a people pleaser. She acknowledged that children raised in loving environments often seek validation from their parents, which can lead to people-pleasing behaviors. Kiara shared her desire for Saraayah to feel safe discussing her feelings and experiences without fear. Reflecting on her own upbringing, Kiara noted that her parents, who were self-made, instilled important values in her and her brother, prioritizing respect and manners over academic performance. She expressed hope that her daughter will be curious, observant, and confident enough to make her own choices, rather than seeking approval from others.
