In a heartwarming throwback, a viral interview clip has resurfaced, revealing a fascinating and personal tidbit about Bollywood star
Kiara Advani. The actress, who recently became a mother, once shared that she had the perfect name for her future daughter, and the inspiration came from none other than
Priyanka Chopra Jonas.
From 'Alia' to 'Kiara': A Name with a Touching Story
While most people know her as
Kiara Advani, the actress’s birth name is Alia Advani. She made the decision to change her name before her debut in the film industry to avoid confusion with the already-established superstar Alia Bhatt. The story behind her new name, however, is a beautifully simple one that connects her to
Priyanka Chopra.
In the old interview, Kiara revealed that she was inspired by Priyanka Chopra's character in the 2010 film Anjaana Anjaani. "The name, Kiara, was inspired from Priyanka Chopra's movie Anjaana Anjaani, where she introduces herself as, 'Hi, I'm Kiara.'"
A Dream Name She Claimed for Herself
Kiara was so taken by the name that she decided she would one day name her own daughter "Kiara." However, as she prepared for her entry into Bollywood, she found herself in need of a new identity. With Alia Bhatt already a household name, she decided to take the name for herself, a decision that would forever change her professional identity.
The actress shared, "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. (Smiles) So, I took it on."
A Name of Her Own and a New Chapter
The throwback story has gained renewed interest since Kiara Advani and her husband, Sidharth Malhotra, welcomed their first child, a baby girl, in July. While the couple has yet to reveal their daughter's name, fans are eagerly waiting to see if the name she had always envisioned will be passed on to her little one.
This sweet tale is a reminder of how the world of cinema often influences our personal lives, even for the stars themselves. It's a charming detail that adds a personal touch to the superstar's journey and connects her with another of Bollywood's global icons.
