Stunning!
Savvy|October 2017

When I graduated from college, I spent my mornings helping mum out in her school. I love kids and I feel that is a passion I share with my mum.

Stunning!

Coming from a lineage of legendary actors like Ashok Kumar and Saeed Jaffery, acting is definitely in my genes. But I am glad I am here on my own merit… Full of life, very loyal and extremely passionate - I am Kiara Advani, the new kid on the Bollywood block who is shooting for the stars.

HAPPY CHILDHOOD

I was born and brought up in Mumbai. My mum runs a playschool for children and my dad is a businessman. We have always been very close and I share a great friendship with my parents. There’s nothing that I can’t talk to them about. They are extremely approachable and are always there for me. Whether I had a crush or a boyfriend, they have always known everything about me. I have a very transparent relationship with them.

When I graduated from college, I spent my mornings helping mum out in her school. I love kids and I feel that is a passion I share with my mum. Maybe later in life, I might do something in that direction.

I have a brother who is four years younger than me and studying in America. He is pursuing computer science there. When he was very little, I used to dress him up in my clothes, and we used to fight a lot too. Now that we’re both in our 20s, there is a certain closeness and friendship that we have developed. He’s the first person I call to tell anything or for advice. Siblings are extremely honest, there are no filters. If they don’t like something, they will tell you to your face. Nishad is my go-to 4 a.m guy, also because I know he’s definitely awake because of the time difference.
