Sidharth Malhotra says marriage with Kiara Advani ‘was meant to be’; she talks about her ‘wedding glow’

Karan Johar-backed film, Shershaah, is based on life of Param Vir Chakra-awardee Vikram Batra, and also showed his relationship with girlfriend Dimple Cheema. It starred Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani in the lead. Despite the little amount of time that Dimple and Vikram actually spent with each other, the film was praised for their love story. Sidharth spoke about their film in a recent interview.

Sidharth told News18: “It felt like the real Vikram and Dimple, in some parallel universe, came together. Shershaah has given me so much love and my wife too, so what else do you need from a film? (laughs) I think it was meant to be. Much like us, Vishal Batra (Vikram Batra’s win brother) was extremely emotional and happy when he came to our wedding.” In the same interview, Kiara said, “The (post-wedding) glow is real. This new life is wonderful. I’m very happy.”
