Kiara Advani has emerged as the top personality in India, leading the most-searched people list, as released by Google India. Her husband, actor Sidharth Malhotra, also made waves as the sixth most searched personality in India. The couple, married in February, continued to bask in the love of their fans. Sidharth and Kiara first crossed paths in December 2017 at a party they both unexpectedly attended – an evening Kiara confessed on the seventh season of Koffee With Karan, that left a lasting impression. What started as a “casual" encounter evolved into a friendship, eventually leading to them officially dating around mid-2018, coinciding with their 2021 war drama Shershaah.
Kicking off 2023 on a high note, Sidharth and Kiara, exchanged vows in a private ceremony in Jaisalmer in February, surrounded by close family and friends. Although they initially met at the wrap-up party of Kiara’s anthology film Lust Stories (2018), it was during the filming of Shershaah that they fell in love.
On the work front, Kiara Advani and Kartik Aaryan garnered a lot of praise for their roles in Satyaprem Ki Katha. The film achieved a huge box office collection, crossing Rs 125 crore. The film not only earned a big sum at the box office but also enjoyed positive word-of-mouth, contributing to its total worldwide gross of Rs 125 crore. Kiara’s performance as a sexual assault victim won her a lot of praise.
Indian cricketer Shubhman Gill holds the second position on the coveted list, followed by Rachin Ravindra and Mohammed Shami. YouTuber Elvish Yadav, rising to fame after participating in Bigg Boss OTT 2, claimed the fifth position. Despite being a wild card entry, Elvish emerged as the winner. He recently faced controversy regarding his alleged involvement in the use of snake venom at rave parties.
