Salman Khan, Tamannaah Bhatia and Sidharth Malhotra (Pictures via X)
Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia brought some candid conversations to the latest episode of Bigg Boss 20's Weekend Ka Vaar as they appeared on the show to promote their upcoming film, The Vvaan: Force of the Forest. While the episode had its share of light-hearted moments, Sidharth's conversation with host Salman Khan turned personal when the two actors discussed marriage, children and fatherhood.
Salman began by asking Sidharth about married life and his experience of becoming a father. The actor, who is married to Kiara Advani, responded warmly, saying that everything was "very good". Salman then took a playful trip down memory lane, recalling how he had previously encouraged Sidharth to get married.
Joking about Sidharth's wedding, Salman said that the actor had turned into a "sharmili dulhan" (shy bride) at the time. Sidharth explained that he and Kiara had consciously kept their relationship private before choosing to reveal it publicly. "Hamara raaz humne raaz rakha tha bhai. Woh raaz humne sahi time pe khola," Sidharth said. Salman quickly turned the statement into a joke, quipping, "Woh raaz abhi bachche mein hai."
The conversation then moved to Sidharth's experience of parenthood. Speaking about his daughter, the actor described becoming a father as one of the most special experiences of his life. He said, "I think it's the best role possible, to become a father."
Sidharth also shared that his daughter, Saraayah, is around 15 months old and is already beginning to say and learn new words. He spoke affectionately about watching her grow, calling fatherhood "the best feeling in the world" and expressing hope that the feeling continues.
Salman continued the playful exchange by asking Sidharth if he would have another child soon. The actor responded with a smile rather than giving a direct answer.
Sidharth then turned the tables on Salman, asking him about his own thoughts on marriage and children. Known for keeping his personal life private, Salman gave a cryptic response. "Mere khayal bahut achhe hain shaadi aur bachchon par. Lekin main woh share nahi karna chahta," he said.
The conversation offered a rare glimpse into Sidharth's life as a father while leaving Salman's views on marriage and children open to interpretation. Sidharth and Kiara married in February 2023 and welcomed their daughter in July 2025. Meanwhile, The Vvaan: Force of the Forest, starring Sidharth and Tamannaah, is slated for release on September 25.
While, Munawar Faruqui and Sonali Bendre also arrived on stage to promote Pati Patni Aur Panga 2. During an interaction with Munawar Faruqui, the rapper was asked about viewers claiming that he was copying MC Stan, who emerged as the winner of Bigg Boss 16.
Yung addressed the comparison without appearing too concerned about the chatter. He said that he could not control what people chose to say and maintained that he was simply being himself. Munawar, meanwhile, kept the exchange light with a joke about MC Stan getting another opportunity.
