Kiara Advani, who tied the knot with her Shershaah co-star Sidharth Malhotra in February 2023, recently spoke out about the stereotypes surrounding actors who choose to get married early in their careers. Speaking, at the ABP Conclave, she emphasized that the audience's perspective has evolved, making marital status 'immaterial' in today's cinema.
"People used to say, 'Why is she (a female actor) getting married? She's just reaching that phase and all of that,'" Kiara shared. "But kudos to the audience because I think they have evolved. We keep saying to the directors, producers, or actors, or female actors who've taken on that, but kudos to the audience because they see you as a character."
Kiara, known for her roles in films like Kabir Singh and Good Newwz, is currently balancing her personal and professional life effortlessly. "So whether I'm married, whether I'm a mother, whether I'm someone's daughter, whatever that is, that's immaterial in that moment," she explained. "And I think I can say that, post-marriage, I've signed two of my biggest films."
With projects like Don 3 alongside Ranveer Singh and Shankar's Game Changer with Ram Charan in her kitty, Kiara is proving that marital status doesn't define an actor's career. "I believe I am good at balancing my personal and professional lives. So if I want to do something, I will go for it, and then, because I manage everything else, I never thought about my career unless I knew I would do what I said," she added.

Kiara's positive outlook reflects a changing narrative in Bollywood, where leading actresses are breaking stereotypes and excelling in their careers, irrespective of their marital status. Her statement resonates with the current trend where many top actresses are happily married and continue to deliver outstanding performances on-screen.
