New Delhi .Actress Kiara Advani is in the news these days for the character she played in her film 'Toxic'. She had to face a lot of criticism on social media after her intimate scenes with actor Yash in the film were revealed. The special thing was that after marriage and becoming a mother, many questions were raised regarding her on-screen decisions. Now Kiara has spoken openly on this entire matter. She also told what was the reaction of her husband Sidharth Malhotra on this controversy.
Kiara recently reached the ninth season of 'Koffee with Karan' with Sidharth Malhotra. During the conversation, he mentioned his character in the film 'Toxic' and the controversy related to it. According to the actress, various types of comments were being made on social media about her work. Some people had questioned her decision to work in such scenes after marriage and becoming a mother.
However, these criticisms did not have any significant impact on his personal life. Kiara told that Siddharth Malhotra had no problem with the discussions going on on social media. He never questioned her about this topic nor saw it as an issue in their relationship.
Kiara clarified in the conversation that Siddharth never even discussed this matter with her. According to her, the husband did not care what kind of reactions were coming on the internet regarding their intimate scenes. Siddharth was absolutely comfortable and did not express any displeasure or discomfort regarding this entire incident.
The actress did not consider online trolling as a matter limited only to her. She said that women in the film industry have been facing such criticism for many decades. Citing examples of many successful and brilliant actresses including Aishwarya Rai, she said that at different times, female artistes have had to go through such situations due to their professional decisions.
According to Kiara, she did not feel the need to give any clarification from her side in this matter. One reason for this was that many people on social media were already raising questions on such double standards. It was clear from her statement that she was not in favor of giving unnecessary clarifications regarding her professional decisions.
During the conversation, the actress also expressed her disappointment over the box office performance of 'Toxic'. He told that despite the good start of the film, its business was not as per expectations. Recalling the opening weekend performance, he described it as a heart-breaking experience. His morale was also affected due to the film not getting the expected results.
However, the appreciation received for his acting and character in the film brought him relief. Kiara admitted that she had gone out of her comfort zone for this role. This is why she includes this character as one of the important and defining experiences of her career.
Before Kiara and Siddharth, Vijay Deverakonda-Rashmika Mandanna and Saif Ali Khan-Kareena Kapoor Khan have also been seen in the ninth season of 'Coffee with Karan'. This is the last season of this celebrity reality show. Its new episode streams on Jio Hotstar on Wednesday evening at 7 pm.
