For Kiara Advani fans, June 13 is a special day. This is a day when the actress made her debut as an actor 11 years back with Fugly (2004). The next few years were a bit slow for her but she caught attention big time with her appearance in Lust Stories (2018). She became a household name and arguably also the OG National Crush a year later with Kabir Singh (2019). Coincidentally, all these three milestones were in the month of June.
11 Years of Kiara Advani: First ever on-screen bikini appearance in War 2 and STUNNING Met Gala debut – How the actress dominated headlines with her two drastically opposite avatars
After Kabir Singh, there was no looking back. The same year, she gave another huge hit in the form of Good Newwz (2019). In the pandemic years, she was a part of two of the most successful OTT films, Laxmii (2020) and Shershaah (2021). Once theatres resumed in full force, Kiara made her presence felt in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (2022) followed by JugJugg Jeeyo (2022). She surprised the audience with her nuanced performance in Satyaprem Ki Katha (2023); the film also raised an important issue.
The current year didn’t start on a great note for her due to the underperformance of Game Changer (2025). But just a month before her 11th anniversary, she grabbed the headlines and how. On May 6, she walked the red carpet at the Met Gala, marking her debut at the much popular world event. As it’s common knowledge, Kiara is pregnant and her attire symbolized the same. Two symbolic hearts, one representing the mother and the other the baby, were connected by a chain resembling an umbilical cord. It beautifully captured the essence of the maternal bond and was unanimously praised.
Two weeks later, on May 20, the teaser of her upcoming film War 2 dropped. It was meant to showcase the essence of the film, that is, the ultimate fight between Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR. Only a 2-second glimpse of Kiara was present in the teaser. Yet, it became the most talked-about part of the promo! Kiara Advani was seen in a golden bikini; the manner in which she was depicted took the breath away of all the movie buffs.
In just a gap of two weeks, we got a chance to see two drastically opposite avatars of Kiara Advani. And she nailed both of them, which speaks volumes of her fan following, arresting presence as well as talent.
As Kiara Advani enters her 12th year, things are going to get better on the personal as well as professional front. This is the year when she’ll turn mother and hence begin a new chapter in life with her doting actor-husband, Sidharth Malhotra. Speaking of her films, War 2 will arrive on August 14. Her other film, Toxic, co-starring KGF Star Yash, will be released on March 19, 2026. Both these films are hugely mounted Pan-India films and are guaranteed huge openers. As she embraces motherhood and gears up for these films, Kiara Advani continues to strike a fine balance between personal milestones and professional growth and there’s no doubt that she’ll continue to be a force to reckon with in the future as well.
