Kiara Advani, who is celebrating her birthday on July 31, looked back to when she thought Sidharth Malhotra was just a good-looking boy.
While now she is happily married to her Shershaah co-star, Advani in a 2022 interview with Filmfare revealed how she discovered a whole new side of him.
“As an actor I liked his work in Hassee Toh Phassee, Kapoor And Sons and a couple of his films. But working with him I realised that there is a side of him which he doesn't show to a lot of people or even if he does, I think that is yet to be explored by people who have not worked with him," she said.
The Kabir Singh star continued, "He is not someone faffing about behind the monitor, chatting and chilling. He's fun on the set but he constantly likes to have an acting coach with him. I really thought he was just a pretty face before.”
During the same interview, Sidharth also confessed he found his now-wife interesting owing to her non-filmy vibe, “I find that refreshing. Maybe because I don't come from this background myself. I come from a working class, middle class Punjabi household in Delhi. So, I find that refreshing and endearing at the same time."
"Which is where we actually bonded - our attitude towards our work is quite similar. If you meet us travelling the world, people won't be able to guess what our job is," the Student of the Year actor elaborated.
Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani first met at the wrap-up party of the latter's 2018 film Lust Stories.
