The day is here. Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani will tie the knot today in a grand ceremony at the Suryagarh Palace in Jaisalmer. The celeb couple, who has been dating for a couple of years, reached the venue two days ago with families. Other guests, including Karan Johar, Shahid and Mira Kapoor, and Manish Malhotra arrived later.
A Times Now report claimed that Sidharth's father Sunil Malhotra fell ill during the sangeet ceremony on Monday night. As per unconfirmed reports, he began to vomit upon which a doctor was called to check on him. The report added that he was stable after resting for a couple of hours. The family decided to continue with the sangeet ceremony but lowered the music's volume as per reports.
Kiara and Sidharth will be tying the knot at the Suryagarh Palace in Jaisalmer on Tuesday. On Tuesday afternoon, multiple fan accounts and media portals shared a video of the 'baraat'. The video showed the bandwallahs from Sidharth's baraat procession getting ready in a field adjacent to the venue. The wedding will take place in the afternoon.
The pre-wedding functions began on Monday with a welcome lunch in the afternoon, followed by a star-studded sangeet ceremony in the evening. While pictures of the bride and the groom or the guests aren’t out yet, there are videos from the venue circulating online, showing groovy Bollywood songs and Punjabi beats.

It was on the sets of their film Shershaah in 2021 that romance blossomed between Sidharth and Kiara. The Vishnuvardhan film was shot during Covid and was a critical success upon its release on Prime Video in 2021. The couple, however, remained tight-lipped about their romance even till very recently.
