Even in 2025, Bollywood cannot help being judged with a 90s lens. The recently dropped teaser for WAR 2 has stirred the internet, and not because of its stunts or plot but because Kiara Advani dared to look glamorous in a one-second shot wearing a golden bikini.
That’s right—a one-second shot is all it took for the internet to spiral over a woman doing her job!

Comments kept flooding in criticizing every bit of what was wrong with Kiara’s look; one even questioned how Sidharth Malhotra “allows” this, as if her career decisions would be bound to his approval.

What this audience does not understand is that what Kiara was doing is her job—and her clothes— nothing more than a creative choice deliberately added to gain views.

It completely falls on the audience to educate themselves and respect an actor’s choice—male or female.
Kiara looked stunning, the teaser is trending, and WAR 2 might actually surprise us. Let that be the conversation.
