Bollywood couple Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra have shared an interesting story about the early days of their relationship. During their joint appearance on Karan Johar's popular talk show 'Koffee with Karan 9', the couple revealed that their relationship almost came to an end while Sidharth was preparing to leave for the shooting of their film 'Shershaah'.

The film, which received considerable appreciation from audiences, also played an important role in bringing the two actors closer. Although their romance reportedly began during its filming, Kiara has now revealed that things were not always smooth between them.

During the conversation, she explained why she confronted Sidharth before his departure for Kargil and how the distance eventually strengthened their relationship.

Why Did Kiara Advani Decide to Step Away From Sidharth?

Recalling the incident on the show, Kiara revealed that she spoke openly with Sidharth on the night before he left for Kargil to shoot 'Shershaah'.

She felt that his behaviour towards her was inconsistent, as he would sometimes be very close and emotionally available, while at other times he appeared distant.

Explaining her feelings, Kiara said, "The night before I left for Kargil to shoot Shershaah, I told Sidharth, 'Sometimes you're very close to me. Sometimes you're very distant. For me, you're either completely there or you're not. I don't understand this in-between situation. I can't do it.'"

Her words reflected her desire for clarity about their relationship rather than remaining in an uncertain situation.

What Was Sidharth Malhotra's Response?

Sidharth also opened up about his state of mind during that period. He explained that he understood the seriousness of committing to Kiara but was concerned about balancing a relationship with his professional responsibilities.

He admitted that he needed time to think before leaving for Kargil.

Sidharth said, "I know you're the kind of person who, if I commit to you, it'll be a very strong relationship. But right now, I'm at a stage in my life where I need to fully focus on my work. And I don't want anything else to get in the way."

Eventually, the two decided to maintain some distance during the demanding shooting schedule and leave the future of their relationship to fate.

How Did the Kargil Shooting Schedule Bring Them Closer?

Interestingly, the time apart eventually helped the couple develop a stronger connection.

Kiara revealed that there was almost no mobile network connectivity in the area where Sidharth was shooting in Kargil. Despite the difficult conditions and busy schedule, he made an effort to call her every night after finishing work.

The two continued talking regularly for 30 consecutive days.

Recalling those moments, Kiara said, "In Kargil, where there was no signal and there was a lot going on, he would still call me every night after work and we talked for 30 days straight. So, we actually started dating when he was in Kargil."

What initially appeared to be a difficult phase in their relationship eventually became an important turning point.

From Shershaah Co-Stars to Life Partners

The story of Kiara and Sidharth's relationship has always attracted considerable interest among their fans. Their chemistry in 'Shershaah' was widely appreciated, and their real-life romance eventually turned into marriage.

Their latest appearance on 'Koffee with Karan 9' offered fans a glimpse into the challenges they faced before becoming one of Bollywood's popular couples.

The revelation also showed how a period of uncertainty and physical distance ultimately helped them understand their feelings and move towards a committed relationship.
