Before the glitz of red carpets and the flash of paparazzi lights, Kiara Advani ’s journey into the limelight began much earlier than her 2014 Bollywood debut film, 'Fugly.' In fact, she faced the camera at just eight months old.
Earlier, in a heartwarming throwback shared by Kiara herself, the actress revealed a gem of a memory: her very first advertisement, starring alongside her mother, Genevieve Advani. The video, which she had posted on Mother's Day in 2016, features an adorable baby Kiara in a diaper, while her elegant mother gently applies baby powder.
Kiara Advani was born into legacy
Kiara, daughter of businessman Jagdeep Advani and teacher Genevieve Jaffrey, has always shared a close bond with her family. Her lineage includes legendary figures like Ashok Kumar and Sayeed Jaffrey, and her mother’s friendships in the film industry, like those with Salman Khan and Juhi Chawla , meant that the world of cinema was never far. Over the years, Kiara has often used her platform to express her admiration for her parents. One such moment came in a heartfelt 2022 Instagram post where she shared a wedding photo of them, calling their bond the kind of marriage she looks up to.
Romance, roots, and a touch of nostalgia
Alongside her career, Kiara’s relationship with Sidharth Malhotra has also been in the public eye. From subtle interviews to playful banter on reality shows, fans have followed their journey closely.
But it’s stories like her mother catching her on the phone during board exams—only to discover her nerdy boyfriend was helping her grades—that bring out Kiara’s real, relatable charm. Still, it's that old commercial clip with Genevieve that stands out.
Kiara Advani on the work front
On the professional front, Kiara Advani was last seen in Ram Charan and Shankar's epic action film 'Game Changer' which unfortunately failed to impress the audiences. Meanwhile, the actress will be next seen in Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR starrer 'War 2'.
