Bollywood heartthrob Sidharth Malhotra gave his fans a bit of a scare this week after revealing he has suffered an injury. Taking to his Instagram Stories on Monday, the actor posted a picture of his leg encased in a medical walking boot. While the sight of the protective gear naturally raised concerns among his followers, the actor kept the mood lighthearted by captioning the post, “I took ‘break a leg’ too seriously,” complete with a hospital emoji.
Despite the update, Sidharth has remained tight-lipped about how the injury actually occurred. Medical walking boots are typically used to provide support and stability to the foot or ankle during the recovery process, but the actor has not disclosed any further details regarding the severity of his condition or the timeline for his healing.
On the personal front, it has been a momentous time for the actor and his wife, Kiara Advani. The couple recently delighted fans on October 7 by announcing that they are expecting their second child. In a heartfelt social media post, the pair shared a touching photo of themselves holding hands, writing, “Blessed once again with the greatest gift of all. Our hearts are so full of love and gratitude.” The couple previously welcomed their first child, daughter Saraayah, earlier in 2025.
Professionally, Sidharth is currently enjoying the run of his latest cinematic outing, The Vvaan: Force of the Forest. The film, which also features Tamannaah Bhatia in a lead role, made its way to the big screen on September 25. Fans are now hoping for a speedy recovery for the star as he balances his professional commitments with his growing family life.
