Professionally, 2019 was filled with highlights: Kiara

For you, what was the biggest highlight of the year?

It’s difficult to pick one. It began with Kabir Singh which went on to create box office history. For the first time, I had practically every single person from the industry messaging me for the film and that was a surreal feeling as I always wanted it to happen to me. Also, many childhood goals such as being on the cover of Vogue magazine, and working with Akshay (Kumar) sir and Kareena Kapoor (Khan) came true this year.

Do you remember any specific moment that has stayed with you? I remember watching Good Newwz with my parents at the first cast-and-crew trial show and when the Dharma Productions logo appeared before the movie started, I got emotional thinking of how I longed for that day, and how I was watching my own very first Dharma movie. So, professionally, the year was filled with highlights and seeing my parent’s face beam with joy when they see my work makes things even more special.

Now, you have a loaded 2020 too. Is this the most exciting time for you as an actor, till date? What are your personal expectations from the next year? You know, as many as five of my films (Laxmmi Bomb, Indoo Ki Jawani, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, Shershaah and Guilty) will release in 2020. Each film as well as the character is very different from the other so it’s exciting for me to see as to how each of them is received by the audiences. That way, it’ll surely be an exciting year.
