Kiara Advani is one of the finest and most versatile Bollywood actresses we have seen in recent times. From being just another amenity to shouldering the entire film, the actress has come a long way. Kiara has delivered back-to-back hits and some spectacular performances.
The actress celebrates her 31st birthday today. She has broken the stereotype that actresses can either be
good-looking or talented. Be it choosing unconventional scripts like Guilty or talking about delicate topics in Satyaprem Ki Katha, it is safe to say Kiara Advani has become a director's favorite
As she turns a year older, let's revisit some of Kiara Advani's stellar performances and blockbuster movies that saw her
beyond her beauty.
1. Lust Stories
This was one of those breakthrough projects that showcased Kiara's true potential.
Karan Johar's short film in this Netflix anthology brought together Kiara Advani and Vicky Kaushal for the first time. The two played a couple who met in an arranged marriage setup.
This part of Lust Stories throws light on
women's sexual desires and breaks the taboo of being vocal about them.
2. Kabir Singh
This movie was a game-changer for the actress. Kabir Singh was a Hindi remake of the popular Telugu film Arjun Reddy. The movie saw Kiara as a fragile and madly in love woman with
Shahid Kapoor, a genius yet hostile doctor. The movie still has mixed reactions.
While some loved it, others opposed the idea of being in an abusive relationship. Regardless of the mixed perspectives, Kiara Advani's performance was loved by fans and critics.
3. Shershaah
How can we not have this one on the list? This is where it all started:
Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra's love story. Shershaah is a biopic of Captain Vikram Batra, a brave soul who was martyred during the Kargil War.
While it narrates the bravery and military ranks of the soldier, Shershaah also highlights the
love story of Vikram Batra and Dimple Cheema.
4. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2
This was a risky business to make a sequel to an iconic psychological thriller without having the original cast, Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan, in it. However,
Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani went on to become the new faces of the Bhool Bhulaiyaa series and broke several box office records.
The movie saw yet another psychological twist, and Kiara's performance was highly lauded.
5. JugJugg Jeeyo
This was the actress's first ever
Dharma film. Kiara Advani stole the show in every scene, especially the fighting sequence with Varun Dhawan. That proved how she can camouflage her character. JugJugg Jeeyo still happens to be one of her finest roles.
6. Satyaprem Ki Katha
Satyaprem Ki Katha brought together the Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 lead pair on the big screen. Kiara Advani and Kartik Aaryan's latest release touched upon yet another societal taboo: consent. The movie has several ups and downs, but Kiara's performance remains consistently impressive.
Radio City wishes Kiara Advani a very happy birthday.
