Sidharth Malhotra fractures leg, shares hospital photo amid wedding‑season events

Actor Sidharth Malhotra has fractured his leg and posted a photo of the injury on Instagram. The picture, shared on Tuesday, shows his leg in a walking boot and a plaster wrap, and the caption reads, “I took ‘break a leg’ too seriously” with a hospital emoji. He did not explain the cause in the post, but videos from the recent Ambani event in Jamnagar captured him saying he had jumped excessively while rehearsing a dance performance. He told the crowd that the excitement made him over‑jump, leading to the injury and a hospital visit. Malhotra thanked the Ambani family for the event venue and the hospital they built, noting doctors advised him to avoid further jumping. Despite the setback, he encouraged the audience to keep dancing. The injury news came a day after Kiara Advani shared a carousel of their family vacation, including moments with daughter Saraayah. Earlier this month the couple announced they are expecting their second child, posting a joint Instagram image of baby booties with the caption “Blessed once again…”. Their first child, daughter Saraayah, was born in July 2025. Professionally, Malhotra was most recently seen in Deepak Kumar Mishra’s fantasy thriller The Vvaan: Force of the Forest, which opened on September 25 2026. The film also stars Tamannaah Bhatia, Anup Soni, Shweta Tiwari, Sunil Grover, Maniesh Paul, Milind Gunaji, Avtar Gill and Sulabha Arya.
