When Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra broke up
The night before Sidharth was scheduled to leave for Kargil, Kiara confessed, “You're very hot and cold with me. For me, you're either in or you're out. Like this in between, I don't understand; I can't do it.”
Sidharth agreed with her and explained that he was at a stage in his career where he needed to focus on his work. He also acknowledged that committing to Kiara would mean entering into something serious.
“I know that you're the kind of person that if I commit to, then this will be something solid. And I'm just in a place in my life where I really need to focus on work, and I cannot allow myself to let anything else come in the way,” he said, adding that they both decided to part ways and see where life takes them.
How Kiara And Sidharth Reunited Again?
Their separation did not last long. While Sidharth was shooting in Kargil, he faced extreme high-altitude challenges. Despite the remote conditions and lack of mobile network connectivity, he continued to call Kiara every night after pack-up. This was when they officially started dating.
"In Kargil, where there's no signal and there was a lot going on, after pack up every single night he would call me and we talked for 30 days straight. So, the official dating started when he was in Kargil," Kiara revealed.
