Throwback: When Kiara Advani shared her opinion on criticism her film Kabir Singh faced for one slap

Kiara Advani is one of the most desirable actresses in B-town currently. She has been proving her acting chops since the beginning of her career. The actress started out with Fugly and went on to give super hit films like Kabir Singh, Good Newwz, and Shershaah, among others. Her newly released film Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 is soaring high as it just crossed ₹150 crore mark.

Speaking of her film Kabir Singh, the official remake of the Telugu-language Arjun Reddy received backlash back then for one scene where Kabir slaps Preeti, Advani’s character.

Looking back at it, Kiara had talked about the same during an interview and furthermore expressed her displeasure over it. She said, “What happened in the film was very wrong. We all realize it, but a certain section of the audience felt that the film was only about the slap. They didn’t see the repercussions. Nothing worked out for Kabir after that and Preeti left him. He repented and when he came back, she gave it back to him. It breaks my heart that a lot of people just focus on that one slap in the film.”

However, the criticism couldn’t stop Kabir Singh from becoming the second-highest-grossing Hindi film of 2019, after Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff-starrer War. Sandeep Reddy Vanga's directorial was a massive hit at the box office and it earned a whopping amount of ₹250 crores before wrapping up its box office run.

Meanwhile, Kiara Advani will be next seen in Raj Mehta’s directorial ‘Jugjugg Jeeyo, set to release on 24 June 2022. The film also stars Varun Dhawan, Anil Kapoor, and Neetu Kapoor in important roles.
