EXCLUSIVE: Sidharth Malhotra finally breaks silence on Kiara Advani: It’s been real and honest with her

When the trailer of Shershaah dropped online, netizens already called it Sidharth Malhotra’s career-best performance to date. With just a few hours to the release of the film on an OTT platform, we caught up with the man of the moment – Sidharth – who opened up about his movie Shershaah. Apart from that, he also opened up about his love for rumoured girlfriend Kiara Advani and shared what he loves the most about her. Read on.

Opening up about his experience of working with Kiara Advani in Shershaah, Sidharth said, “For the unversed, we were cast for this film many years ago. This film has been a long journey that we were cast for it after Lust Stories when we saw Kiara Advani in Karan Johar’s short film. We felt that she was apt for somebody like Dimple (Cheema). Because Dimple and Vikram Batra’s story is a true story that looks very filmy and has very filmy moments in it and yet we wanted to make it as authentic and real. And we needed an actor who’s very honest and earnest and Kiara has played that part to the T. And brings in such strong strength and sense of honesty and that’s what I like about her as a performer. She has worked really hard to get the accent, she isn’t a Punjabi so she learned Punjabi for her role and she is rendering it with such confidence and ease.”

Revealing what he likes the most about Kiara, Sidharth went on to add, “I feel she is very instinctive on set. Whether it’s her prep she likes to come out on set and instinctively perform. And it’s been real and honest with her that’s what I like about her. She is somebody who has also spend enough time in the industry and I think the reason we connect is because we both are honest as people and we are actors and yet if you meet us in a social gathering we would come across as regular people because there’s a lack of facade. So that’s a kind of connection. And we are happy that people are liking Vikram and Dimple’s story being portrayed through me and Kiara in Shershaah. And we are hoping once they see the film they feel and fall in love with this interesting love story.”

Sidharth and Kiara’s chemistry really stood out in Shershaah’s songs, Raataan Lambiyan and Ranjha. Now we just can’t wait to see the magic they have created in the film with their beautiful performances. Produced by Karan Johar, Shershaah will premiere on Amazon Prime on August 12.
