Kiara
Advani
is
slowly
becoming
an

in
the
Hindi
film
industry,
and
a
popular
name
among
Bollywood
fans.
But
get
this,
her
name
was
not
always

Kiara,
whose

being
inspired
by
Priyanka
Chopra's
character's
name
in
the
movie

to
find
out
what
she
admitted
in
a
recent
interview!
Kiara
Advani,
whose
real
name
is
Alia
Advani,
changed
it
before
making
her
debut
with
the
movie
Fugly
in
2014.
As
reported
by
Pinkvilla,
Kiara
said
in
a
recent
interview,
"My
name
has
been
Kiara
since
my
debut
in
2014.
I
didn't
want
to
confuse
the
audience
with
Alia
Bhatt,
an
established
superstar.
It
just
felt
like
the
right
thing
to
do
-
to
have
your
own
identity.
Why
have
two
Alias?"
Revealing
that
Priyanka
Chopra's
character
in
Anjaana
Anjaani
was
an
inspiration
for
her
picking
her
current
name,
she
said,
"The
name,
Kiara,
was
inspired
from
Priyanka
Chopra's
movie
Anjaana
Anjaani,
where
she
introduces
herself
as,
'Hi,
I'm
Kiara.'
I
thought,
'What
a
beautiful
name.
If
I
have
a
daughter,
I'll
call
her
Kiara.'
But
before
that
I
needed
a
name
for
myself.
So,
I
took
it
on.'"
Kiara
is
on
cloud
nine
with
the
fantastic
success
of
her
last
film,
Kabir
Singh,
which
is
a
remake
of
the
Telugu
hit
film,
Arjun
Reddy.
Directed
by
Sandeep
Vanga
Reddy,
the
film
also
stars
Shahid
Kapoor
opposite
Kiara.
It
is
the
biggest
hit
of
2019
in
Bollywood
so
far.
She
will
next
be
seen
in
the
film
Good
News,
starring
Akshay
Kumar,
Kareena
Kapoor,
and
Diljit
Dosanjh.
