Kiara Advani recalls Yash’s reaction to her pregnancy
While talking at the event, Kiara recalled, “When I got pregnant, after my family, you were the first two people I shared the news with. In that moment, you didn’t think about how will we finish the film, the logistics, none of that. You both smiled with tears in your eyes, congratulated me and said, ‘We’re going to have the time of our lives now, Kiara’.”
Kiara added that Yash and Geetu’s response deeply touched her and reflected the kind of people they truly were beyond their roles as actor and director. “I was so touched to just see someone who was so happy for me. I will never forget that, you said, come on set, be comfortable, eat whatever you want. And we’re going to make the best film. And we truly did,” she recalled.
Further expressing her gratitude, Kiara said, “You truly, truly did make me feel like I could do anything in that moment. So thank you for being the human being that you are. And thank you for being the best team.”
At the event, Huma Qureshi also spoke about Kiara shooting the film despite being six months pregnant.
