Kiara Advani
Kiara Advani (born Alia Advani; 31 July 1991), (Hindi pronunciation: [kɪˈjaːra əɽˈʋaːɳi]), is an Indian actress who works in Hindi and Telugu language films. One of the highest-paid actresses in India, Advani is a recipient of several accolades including an IIFA Award and two Zee Cine Awards, alongside nominations for two Filmfare Awards.
Following a brief career in teaching, Advani made her acting debut with the unremarkable comedy film Fugly (2014). Two years later she starred as MS Dhoni's wife in the commercially successful sports biopic M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story (2016). She gained critical appreciation for playing a sexually unsatisfied wife in the Netflix anthology film Lust Stories (2018) and played the leading lady in the political thriller Bharat Ane Nenu (2018), which was followed by a brief setback.
The romantic drama Kabir Singh (2019) marked a turning point in her career, and she gained further success with the comedy drama Good Newwz, two of the highest-grossing Hindi films of 2019. She won the IIFA Award for Best Supporting Actress for the latter. She rose to prominence with commercially successful 2022 films—the horror comedy Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and the family drama Jugjugg Jeeyo. Advani received critical praise for playing Vikram Batra's girlfriend in the war film Shershaah (2021) and a troubled married woman in the romantic drama Satyaprem Ki Katha (2023), receiving nominations for Filmfare Award for Best Actress for both these films.
In addition to her acting career, she is the celebrity endorser for several brands and products. Advani is married to actor Sidharth Malhotra, with whom she has a daughter.
Advani was born 31 July 1991, to Jagdeep Advani, a Sindhi Hindu businessman and Genevieve Jaffrey, a teacher whose father was originally from Lucknow and whose mother was of Scottish, Irish, Portuguese, and Spanish ancestry. She has a younger brother, Mishaal, who is a musician. She is related to several celebrities through her maternal family. Actors Ashok Kumar and Saeed Jaffrey are her step-great-grandfather and great-uncle, respectively.
Advani was educated at Cathedral and John Connon School, Mumbai. She then attended Jai Hind College, Mumbai where she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in mass communications.
Born as Alia Advani, she changed her first name to Kiara prior to the release of her first film, Fugly, in 2014. Her choice of name was inspired by Priyanka Chopra's character Kiara in the film Anjaana Anjaani (2010). She stated that it was Salman Khan's suggestion to change her name, as Alia Bhatt was already an established actress.
Advani began her acting career with the ensemble comedy film Fugly (2014) alongside newcomer Mohit Marwah. Mehul S Thakkar of Deccan Chronicle found her "very striking" and said that she "shows a lot of promise". Fugly underperformed at the box office but she received a nomination at the Screen Awards for Best Female Debut. Advani admitted to feeling demotivated after the film's failure as film offers became scarce.
