Kiara Advani on slap sequence in Kabir Singh “The thing about love is that it’s the only thing that can allow you to forgive certain behaviours in life”

Mumbai: Kiara Advani is one of the most well-known and promising performers in Bollywood. She made her acting debut in 2014 with the film Fugly. However, she rose to prominence with her outstanding performance in the 2016 biopic MS Dhoni: The Untold Story. Meanwhile, her 2019 film Kabir Singh, which also starred Shahid Kapoor, garnered mixed reviews due to a scene in which Kabir slaps Preeti, Advani’s character, and it quickly became the talk of the town.

In a recent interview with a top portal, Kiara discussed the slap sequence in Kabir Singh, saying that it was ‘blown out of proportion.’ She described it as a love story, saying, “The thing about love is that it’s the only thing that can allow you to forgive certain behaviours in life.” Kiara went on to say that relationships are complicated, and it’s extremely simple for a third person to tell someone to “get out of that relationship” if they’ve cheated, haven’t been courteous to the other person, or have hit someone. However, for the two persons in that connection, it adds a new layer of complexity.

Furthermore, Kiara stated that Preeti leaves Kabir after that slap in the film, which people don’t notice and forget about “The fact that she went back to him, had a few sections of people saying ‘oh she shouldn’t have gone back’. But I feel that this is what made a heart in the end and that’s what love does. Although at the end of the day it’s just a film and just a story,” the actress said.
