Recalling the early stages of their relationship, Vidya confessed that she wasn't entirely sure if Siddharth had approached her or if he had made the first move. Being in the spotlight and dealing with newfound fame, Vidya felt hesitant to initiate anything with anyone at the time. However, she believed that Siddharth took the initiative, considering her personal reservations. Their connection was fresh, and she wasn't sure if he wanted to be with her as an actor or as a person, leading her to refrain from making the first move.

Their love story had an interesting twist, as they first met at a party after an awards event in 2010.

Karan invited both of them to a gathering at his residence, where they got a chance to interact and know each other better. It was during this occasion that sparks flew between Vidya and Siddharth, setting the foundation for their future as a couple.

Looking back, Vidya acknowledged that life seemed to be aligning their paths during that period, and she realized that Karan's invitation was intentional. His desire to bring them together as a couple worked, and they eventually fell in love and tied the knot.
