Kiara Advani revealed that her parents allowed her to pursue her acting dream because of Aamir Khan’s 3 Idiots.
Kiara Advani began her acting career with Kabir Sadanand’s Fugly in 2014. Over a period of time, the actress has garnered a solid fanbase with films like MS Dhoni: The Untold Story, Lust Stories, Kabir Singh, Shershaah and Satyaprem Ki Katha. Recently in an interview with an entertainment portal, Kiara credited Aamir Khan’s blockbuster hit 3 Idiots for helping her to get her parents’ approval for joining the film industry.
The Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 actress shared that her father would dissuade her from acting and push her towards academics because of the nature of the profession. But she knew that she wanted to act and was certain about her choice.
Speaking about how Aamir’s 3 Idiots changed things for her, Kiara told Film Companion, “He would try and dissuade me from acting as any protective father, who is not from this industry, would. But I was like, ‘No dad this what I want to do,’ but it was after that movie that we as a family realised, even I as a person realised that if I never give this a shot, if this is something I am truly passionate about and if I don’t even try once, for myself, just to know whether I am able to do it, if somebody wants to watch me, if I will be taken in a film.”
She further added, “My father realised that ‘let my kids do whatever they are passionate about because I never want them to turn around and regret that they never tried it.’ So, each of us had a different take away from that film. But that movie in many ways is responsible for my parents supporting me and I am here today because I had that support. So movies have the magic of leaving that kind of impact on us.”
Kiara was recently seen in Satyaprem Ki Katha alongside Kartik Aaryan.
