Kiara Advani reveals if Salman Khan ever vouched for her
Now, a Reddit user shared an old video of Kiara Advani, wherein she can be heard talking about her connection to Salman Khan and Juhi Chawla from much before joining the film business. The actress revealed that instead of the preconceived notion that Salman had vouched for her, she mentioned that after selecting her, the film’s producer gave him the good news. However, Kiara also lauded Salman for mentoring her and said:
“Obviously, I would take his advice on everything that I was doing, but contrary to what everyone thinks that he told my producer (to cast me), she actually called him up and said, ‘Listen, we like her and we’ve selected her. We believe you’re mentoring her so I wanted to call you directly and tell you that we’re going to take this girl.’ So, he called me and told me, ‘You’ve auditioned for this film and they like you. What does your gut tell you?’ I, from the minute I read the character sketch, knew I wanted to be a part of this film. I had to nail this one.”
