On her 31st birthday, the celebrated Bollywood actress, Kiara Advani, looks back on her remarkable journey in the industry. Born on 31st July 1991 in Mumbai, Kiara has emerged as one of the biggest names in Bollywood today, delivering multiple blockbuster films during her illustrious 9-year career.
Starting her foray into Bollywood in 2014, Kiara has transcended any specific identity to become a household name. As we celebrate her birthday today, let’s delve into some captivating aspects of Kiara’s life.
Kiara Changed her name at the Behest of Bollywood’s Bhaijaan
While Kiara Advani is now a renowned figure both in India and internationally, few might know that her fame comes under a changed name. Her real name is Alia Advani, but she altered it to Kiara on the advice of none other than Salman Khan. The reason behind this change was to avoid confusion with another actress named Alia already present in the industry. This decision proved to be a game-changer, as Kiara Advani swiftly rose to prominence with her new identity, even earning comparisons to Priyanka Chopra’s character in the film “Anjaana Anjaani.”
Bollywood Debut and the Path to Success
Kiara Advani stepped into the Bollywood arena with the film “Fugly,” which, unfortunately, failed to make a significant impact and turned out to be a flop. However, her fortunes changed dramatically when she starred in the biopic “MS Dhoni: The Untold Story” in 2016. The movie was a massive hit, catapulting Kiara’s career to new heights and opening doors to more significant opportunities.
A Legendary Acting Lineage
One lesser-known fact about Kiara Advani is her illustrious acting lineage. Her grandfather was none other than the legendary Bollywood actor Ashok Kumar, revered for his timeless contributions to the world of acting.
As Kiara Advani celebrates her special day, we marvel at her achievements, talent, and the legacy she carries from her legendary grandfather.
