Early Life & Education

Kiara Advani, born Alia Advani on July 31, 1992, in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, comes from a family with deep ties to the entertainment industry. Her upbringing in a culturally rich and artistic environment significantly shaped her career in cinema.

Kiara has a diverse heritage, with her father, Jagdeep Advani, being of Sindhi descent, and her mother, Genevieve Advani-Jaffrey, having Scottish, Punjabi, and Burmese roots. While her family follows Hindu traditions, Kiara has not publicly discussed her personal religious practices.

Her mother, Genevieve, was a teacher before dedicating herself to her family. She is also the niece of the legendary actor Ashok Kumar and has familial ties to the arts through her uncle, Saeed Jaffrey, adding to Kiara’s connection to the entertainment world. Kiara has a younger brother, Mishaal Advani, who is pursuing a career as an actor in the film industry.

Kiara received her primary and secondary education at Cathedral and John Connon School in Mumbai and later graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Mass Communication from Jai Hind College, Mumbai. She trained at Anupam Kher‘s Actor Prepares Institute to prepare for a career in acting, where she refined her skills before making her debut in the film industry.

Career

Kiara Advani made her debut in the Indian film industry with the 2014 comedy Fugly, directed by Kabir Sadanand. Although the film underperformed at the box office, it served as her stepping stone into Bollywood.

Her breakthrough came in 2016 with the sports biopic M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story, where she portrayed Sakshi Dhoni-Rawat, the wife of cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni. The film was a commercial hit, and Kiara‘s performance garnered critical acclaim, establishing her as a rising star in Hindi cinema.

In 2018, Kiara gained further recognition with her role in the anthology film Lust Stories, where she played Megha, a young woman navigating intimacy and self-expression. Her nuanced performance was widely praised for its maturity. That same year, she made her Telugu cinema debut in Bharat Ane Nenu, starring opposite Mahesh Babu in a political drama that achieved both critical and commercial success.

Kiara’s career saw a turning point with the 2019 release of Kabir Singh, a Hindi remake of the Telugu film Arjun Reddy. In this intense romantic drama, she played Preeti Sikka, the love interest of Shahid Kapoor‘s character. While the film became one of the year’s highest-grossing releases, it also sparked discussions about its portrayal of toxic relationships, further amplifying Kiara’s visibility.

She followed this success with the comedy-drama Good Newwz (2019), a story centred on IVF and mistaken identities, earning her the IIFA Award for Best Supporting Actress.

In 2020, Kiara took on diverse roles, starring in the horror-comedy Laxmii and the lighthearted Indoo Ki Jawani. However, her performance in Shershaah (2021), where she played Dimple Cheema, Captain Vikram Batra‘s romantic partner, brought her widespread acclaim and several award nominations, including a nod for the Filmfare Award for Best Actress.

In 2022, she delivered back-to-back hits with Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, a horror-comedy that became one of the year’s highest-grossing films, and the family drama Jugjugg Jeeyo. Her versatility continued to shine with roles in Govinda Naam Mera (2022) and Satyaprem Ki Katha (2023), the latter earning her another Filmfare nomination for Best Actress.
