Cinema VinesActor Siddharth Nigam confirmed his relationship status on Friday night, sharing a photo with his girlfriend Riya Thakkar on Instagram to celebrate Janmashtami. The post, which featured the couple together, was accompanied by a heartfelt caption in which Nigam described how they met in 2024 and how their connection evolved organically from casual conversations to a meaningful partnership.
In the caption, he wrote, “2024. Two strangers, two lives, and a meeting neither of us knew would become such a beautiful part of our story. There was no plan, no script. We simply found each other, and somewhere between the ordinary days, the quiet conversations, the laughter and everything in between, something beautiful began to grow. For a long time, this was just ours. Something we quietly lived, cherished, and let become what it was meant to be. And sometimes, when something has brought so much love, warmth and meaning into your life, you find yourself wanting to let a little of that light out into the world. So, here we are. A little piece of something that has meant so much to us. Somehow, we found each other. And for that, we'll always be grateful. -R & S.”
Industry peers and fans reacted warmly to the announcement, with many congratulating the pair. When a fan asked Nigam how he felt about this new chapter, he replied with a simple “shaking” emoji and a teary‑eyed face, hinting at the emotional significance of the moment.
Nigam’s career began as a child actor, with early appearances in the 2013 film Dhoom 3 starring Aamir Khan. He later featured in television series such as Maha Kumbh: Ek Rahasaya, Ek Kahaani, and Chakravartin Ashok Samrat. The actor’s recent revelation marks a new personal milestone as he steps into a relationship that he has kept private until now.
