Kiara Advani has proved that if you have talent and perseverance, nothing can stop you from fulfilling your dreams.

Co-starring Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Diljit Dosanjh in important roles, the comic-caper has been performing fantastically well ever since entering theatres on 27th December.

Reminiscing about her struggling days in the industry, Kiara Advani says, “It can make you feel a little low when you are just waiting for opportunities. But I feel glad that I did not give up and I went after my dream, that is why today things are looking brighter. If you have the talent then nobody can take that away from you.”

The actress went on to say that now she enjoys going to work. “Now I enjoy going to work and it is making me more and more hungry to do better. I still have a long way to go but it is very motivating when directors call you to not just praise your performance but they also dissect the scenes they liked,” she concludes.

Her next release will be the much-awaited Laxmmi Bomb opposite Akshay Kumar. A remake of superhit Tamil horror comedy Kanchana, the movie is scheduled to release on 22nd May.
