Kiara Advani Reflects on Pregnancy and Motherhood
Kiara Advani, a Bollywood actress, recently shared her thoughts on motherhood and her experiences filming during pregnancy.
She talked about how becoming a mother changed her view of her body and her priorities.
Kiara said that after having her baby, Saraayah, she no longer feels the need to have a perfect body.
She now appreciates what her body can do, like creating a new life.
She also shared how much she enjoys the small, precious moments with her daughter, like bathing her and watching her play.
Kiara and her husband, Sidharth Malhotra, announced their baby's name and birth in a heartfelt post on social media.
She is now looking forward to her next film, Toxic, which marks her first project since becoming a mother.
Kiara revealed that she filmed for seven months during her pregnancy, and only her director and producer knew.
Before filming emotional scenes, she would whisper to her baby that she was only acting, trying to create the calm she wanted for her little one.
She also called Sidharth Malhotra an incredibly hands-on father, and said that thanks to him, her mother, and her team, she finished filming Toxic.
Kiara Advani's first look from Yash starrer Toxic was released a few days ago.
It showed her character Nadia dressed in a black off-the-shoulder gown with a thigh-high slit.
She was seen standing in the spotlight on a dance floor, with tears streaming down her face.
