'PEOPLE WANT TO WATCH SUNSHINE FILMS'

Riding high on Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’s blockbuster success, Kiara Advani awaits the release of JugJugg Jeeyo on Friday, June 24.

After eight years in the film industry -- where she has big hits like Kabir Singh, Good Newwz and Shershaah -- Kiara tells “I debuted with a film that did not do well commercially. What everybody told me at that time was that if you are a good actor, you will sustain and stand the test of time. Your commercial success will not change your journey.”

The audience seems really excited to watch JugJugg Jeeyo.

Right now, people want to watch positive, sunshine, and happy films which also give you a different perspective and enlighten you.

You have just seen 2 percent of the film so far, which is in the trailer. But there is a lot of gravitas in the film.

You have completed eight years in Bollywood. What is it like to sustain in a competitive industry like this?

I debuted with a film that did not do well commercially (Fugly).

But what everybody told me at that time was that if you are a good actor, you will sustain and stand the test of time.

Your commercial success will not change your journey.

In retrospect, I have been appreciated for my performances and roles.

I have been really blessed that I have organically got characters that have been versatile.

So even if I consciously want to or look to play characters that are different, they even just came to me.

I did not have to consciously look for them. I had Kabir Singh in 2019 and the same year, I had Good Newwz. Three months later, I had Guilty.

So I got that, you know, ability to show off my versatility.

Now, I am specifically looking into that stuff, like how can I change that.
