Kiara Advani had a roller-coaster 2019 with two of her films, Kabir Singh and Good Newwz emerging as one of the biggest hits of that year. While the latter was a rib-tickling comedy, the former was a dark romantic outing. Critics claimed the film endorsed violence and toxic masculinity. Kiara faced criticism from the audience for choosing a character as submissive and silent as Preeti.
On the latest episode of JioSaavn's #NoFilterNeha Season 5, Kiara opened up on her professional and personal life. The actress also reacted to the reactions she got for her character in the Sandeep Reddy Vanga's film. Kiara said, "I feel like and I realize this only because of Kabir Singh that there's certain characters, today what people know me, even after a certain body of work, they can't get over certain character that you've played. They feel like this is you. It becomes larger than life. That's what happened with Preeti. I was happy when Guilty came out and Good Newwz came out and people were like okay, wow, she's a versatile actress and you know I've got all the critical acclaim for. But, with Kabir, I think, it was, I was very nervous before the film release because I was aware that section of backlash would come because we saw it happen with the first film. So, we knew it would happen."
