Kiara Advani, 22, is Ashok Kumar's great grand-daughter and Saeed Jaffrey's grand-niece. She is genuine and sensitive like her mom and strong like her father. She is an optimist, who comes from a close-knit family and values that she can share everything with them, including the sole relationship she has had in her life.
She is a home bird, who loves watching American TV serials. Ahead of her debut film Fugly, we met her at her plush South Mumbai home, where she talks to Bombay Times about her clarity of becoming an actress from the age of two, the warm Salman Khan and how she dreads her brother going away to study in the US. Excerpts:
Your connection with Salman Khan? My mom knew Salman sir as they grew up together in Bandra. He would often tell my mother Genievev Advani how one day he would be a star. They have been friends for the longest time and would go cycling together. She introduced my mausie Shaheen to him and Salman sir and Shaheen mausie dated each other long back. It may have possibly been their first relationship. I have met him a few times at his house for lunch. He is very warm and friendly. My mother had come once on my shoot when Salman sir was on the set to shoot the title promotional song for Fugly. She had actually come to see him and not me, but he thought she had come for me and said, You better give Kiara space. Don't tag along with her as her mother'
