Renowned Bollywood actress, Kiara Advani, has solidified her position as a prominent figure in the Indian film industry.

Over the years, she’s not only mesmerized audiences with her versatile performances but also with her remarkable fashion sense.
Advani’s journey in Bollywood has been nothing short of a meteoric rise to stardom. She quickly gained fame with a string of successful films like “MS Dhoni – The Untold Story,” “Lust Stories,” “Kabir Singh,” “Shershaah,” “Guilty,” “Good Newwz,” and “Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2,” to name just a few.

In the same year, Kiara Advani featured in “Good Newwz,” a film that also saw substantial box office success. Directed by Raj Mehta, this family entertainer featured an ensemble cast including Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor, and Diljit Dosanjh. The film’s plot revolves around two couples undergoing in-vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments but end up in a mix-up that leads to hilarious consequences. “Good Newwz” was the sixth highest-grossing Bollywood film of 2019, earning a whopping Rs 318 crore.
