Siddharth Nigam has made his relationship public for the first time, introducing Riya Thakkar to his followers with a romantic photograph and a heartfelt note about how they met.
Actor Siddharth Nigam has surprised fans by putting an end to the secrecy around his personal life. The Dhoom 3 and Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan actor recently introduced Riya Thakkar as his girlfriend through a joint Instagram post.
The actor shared a dreamy photograph with Riya, with Disneyland in the backdrop, alongside a personal note reflecting on their relationship.
According to Siddharth’s post, the two first met in 2024, when they were strangers who had no idea that their meeting would eventually become the beginning of a relationship.
Siddharth Nigam opens up about his love story
Siddharth chose a reflective tone while announcing the relationship publicly.
In his Instagram caption, the actor wrote that there was “no plan, no script” when he and Riya first met. He described how their connection developed through everyday conversations, laughter and shared moments.
The actor said that, for a long time, the relationship remained private and was something the couple chose to keep between themselves.
He explained that they eventually felt ready to share “a little piece” of their relationship with the outside world.
The post concluded with Siddharth expressing gratitude for the fact that they had found each other.
Who is Riya Thakkar?
Siddharth has tagged Riya Thakkar’s Instagram profile in the joint post, but relatively little information about her personal or professional background has been made public so far.
The actor has also not revealed extensive details about their relationship beyond saying that they met in 2024 and that their connection gradually developed into something meaningful.
The announcement therefore marks the first significant public acknowledgment of their relationship from Siddharth himself.
Fans and celebrity friends react to the announcement
Siddharth’s relationship reveal quickly attracted attention from his followers and friends from the entertainment industry.
Several celebrity acquaintances, including Reem Shaikh and Palak Sindhwani, reacted to the post with heart emojis.
For fans who have followed Siddharth since his television days, the announcement offered a rare glimpse into a side of the actor’s life that he has largely kept away from the public spotlight.
Rather than revealing the relationship through a formal statement, Siddharth chose a personal photograph and an emotional message, making the announcement feel more intimate.
