Bollywood star Kiara Advani has made the difficult decision to step away from her role in the highly anticipated Don 3, following the announcement of her pregnancy with husband Sidharth Malhotra. The actress was set to play the female lead opposite Ranveer Singh, but has chosen to focus on her personal life as she prepares to welcome her first child.
The decision was reportedly a mutual agreement between Advani and the makers of Don 3. This news comes just days after the actress announced her pregnancy on March 1, 2025, in a heartfelt Instagram post. The couple shared an image of tiny baby socks, accompanied by the caption, “The greatest gift of our lives. Coming soon.” The announcement garnered an outpouring of love and support from fans and Bollywood celebrities alike.
