Having worked in a variety of genres, from poignant dramas to high-octane commercial cinema, Kiara has established herself as one the prominent figures in the Hindi film industry.

Kiara Advani as Nadia in Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups
The first look at Nadia presents Kiara Advani in a striking and layered avatar. At first glance, the poster shows her in a glamorous setting against a colourful circus backdrop. However, a closer look reveals a character marked by deep emotion. However, beneath the visual spectacle, there is a clear sense of grief and sadness, hinting at a performance-driven role. This suggests that Nadia is far from a conventional character and could mark a significant and transformative moment in Kiara Advani’s career.
Reflecting on Kiara’s portrayal, director Geetu Mohandas said, “Some performances don’t just belong to a film, they redefine an artist. What Kiara created on screen in this film is nothing short of transformative. As a director, I am deeply proud of her and for the performance she has delivered, and for the faith and heart she brought into our shared journey.”
