‘Nothing better than women supporting women,’ says Kiara Advani her equation with female stars
Kiara Advani is a busy bee. On one hand, she is basking in the riotous success of her latest release Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. On the other hand, she is busy promoting her next release Jugjugg Jeeyo. She has been paired with Varun Dhawan for the first in this Dharam Productions venture.
In a promotional interview, Kiara was asked about her equation with female actors. When the interviewers asked her whether female actors can be friends, she said, “I believe so. And I say that because I am a girl’s girl. I am most comfortable around my girlfriends, and around other women. Most of my friends in the industry are people I have worked with—my directors and co-actors—because I end up spending so much time with them."
She further explained, “Whenever I watch the film of a contemporary, and if I really like it, I’ll get her number to tell her how good she was, even if I do not know her. That’s happened with me as well, when other actresses have reached out to me, even those I do not know, to tell me how much they enjoyed my work. It is so motivating to receive this kind of support. All of us inspire each other. When I watch someone performing incredibly, it only makes me want to up my game…to do better, take risks, try new genres.”
Kiara signed off by saying, “There is nothing better than women supporting women. It uplifts one’s morale. We understand each other because we go through or have gone through similar experiences. And if we don’t root for each other, who will?”
Meanwhile, Jugjugg Jeeyo is slated to hit screens on 24 June, 2022. Aside from Kiara Advani and Varun Dhawan, the film also features Prajakta Koli, Neetu Kapoor, and Anil Kapoor in prominent roles.
