Full disclosure: when a celebrity is on their way to your set, it is never a quiet affair. You are notified of their every movement – from the minute they enter the building, down to the last 10 seconds before they enter the room. People don’t actually whisper, “The Eagle has landed” into their walkie-talkies, but they might as well be doing it. That’s the norm. Except when Kiara Advani enters the suite that we are in. Some of us are so engrossed in what we’re doing – laying out the jewellery, steam-ironing the pieces that are hung on the clothes rack, and discussing the unbelievably hot Mumbai weather – that we don’t realise she has arrived until she greets us. “Hi guys!” – it is the familiar silky voice that we’ve heard so many times in movies, on TV and on the Reels that appear on our social media. There she is, in a sea foam green broderie anglaise dress, her air-dried wavy hair framing her makeup-less face, holding an oversized Christian Dior tote. She looks equal parts movie star and SoBo It girl.
