Sidharth Malhotra is taking a bold stand for his wife, Kiara Advani, as she prepares to be discharged from the hospital with their newborn daughter.

The couple, who welcomed their first child on July 15, had earlier taken to Instagram to share the heartwarming news with their fans.

He shared that while they deeply appreciate the love and support received throughout the pregnancy, the couple wishes to step away from the spotlight for a while as they spend quality time with their daughter.

Later, the Student of the Year actor posted an Instagram Story, requesting paparazzi to refrain from photographing the newborn.

“We’re so grateful for all the love and wishes; our hearts are truly full. 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. So, no photos please—only blessings! Thank you for your support. Love, Kiara & Sidharth.”
