Look, Who Inspired to Get a New Name for Kiara

While we have already updated you in one of our previous articles that Kiara Advani’s real name wasn’t Kiara but Aaliya, here is an interesting bit that reveals how she was inspired by a character played by Priyanka Chopra that led her to rechristen herself, Kiara,.

Kiara was Priyanka Chopra’s name in her 2010 movie ‘Anjaanaa Anjaani’ with Ranbir Kapoor. Kiara says that she loved the sounding of the word ‘Kiara‘ when it came from Priyanka Chopra. When we go back and watch the trailer of the movie, we totally agree with Kiara about the name.

Now, she is popular as Kiara Advani. If she had retained the original name as her screen name it would have led to a lot of confusion among the audiences and have been hard for her to register herself as another Alia when there is the star heroine Alia Bhatt already.

Keeping aside her name, the lady is presently basking in the super success of her latest release ‘Kabir Singh’ and looking forward to creating more magic with her upcoming movies in Bollywood.
