Kiara Advani Arrives In Bengaluru For Toxic Trailer Launch
Kiara Advani is a famous movie actress with a new film called 'Toxic: A Fairy Tale For Grown-Ups.'
A song from the movie, 'Tabaahi,' made some people on the internet upset because of scenes between Kiara and actor Yash.
Some people were mean to Kiara and even talked about her husband, Sidharth Malhotra.
Yash is also married, but fewer people were mean to him.
This made people wonder if actresses are treated more unfairly than actors.
Another actress in the movie, Huma Qureshi, called the mean comments 'sick' and 'disgusting' and said the film's women will have the last laugh.
Kiara went to Bengaluru for the movie's trailer launch and happily took selfies with fans.
The movie comes out in theaters on August 26.
Kiara Advani made her first public appearance on Saturday morning, landing in Bengaluru for the trailer launch of 'Toxic: A Fairy Tale For Grown-Ups'.

She faced criticism from a section of social media users over her intimate scenes with Yash in the recently released song 'Tabaahi'.
Trolls also left comments on husband Sidharth Malhotra's social media posts linking the film to their marriage, while Yash drew comparatively less criticism.
