Kiara Advani, known for her roles in popular films like 'M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story' and 'Kabir Singh', recently shared insights about her early career during an appearance on Raj Shamani’s podcast. Reflecting on her debut in 'Fugly', she described it as a challenging start that taught her valuable lessons. Despite receiving critical praise for her performance, the film did not lead to immediate opportunities, resulting in a period of waiting and auditions. Advani noted that many still mistakenly believe her first film was one of her later successes. She emphasized that the struggles she faced were crucial in shaping her as an actor. Even after the success of 'M.S. Dhoni', her career did not immediately take off until 'Kabir Singh' in 2019. Advani also mentioned how her experience on 'Machine', despite being heavily trolled, helped her gain recognition, ultimately leading to her role in 'Lust Stories'. Her upcoming film, 'Toxic: A Fairytale for Grownups', directed by Geetu Mohandas, is eagerly anticipated, though it currently lacks a confirmed release date.
