Kiara Advani Calls Herself Nobody In Old Video, Netizens React: ‘Everyone Trying To Be Outsider’

The much-anticipated Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, starring Kartik Aaryan and newcomer Triptii Dimri, has taken the box office by storm with its unique blend of horror and comedy. Aaryan’s on-screen chemistry with Dimri has quickly become a talking point, with audiences and critics alike praising the new pairing. Dimri’s fresh take alongside Aaryan has resonated well, sparking curiosity about future collaborations between the two actors.

Amid the buzz surrounding Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, fans speculated that Kiara Advani, who starred opposite Aaryan in the previous installment Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (2022), might make a cameo in the sequel. However, the rumours proved unfounded as the film released without Advani’s appearance.

Interestingly, an old video of Kiara Advani and Kartik Aaryan from their promotional tour for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 recently resurfaced on social media. In the clip, Advani humbly describes herself as a “nobody” in Bollywood and expresses gratitude towards filmmaker Karan Johar for supporting her early in her career. The clip, however, reignited the ongoing “insider versus outsider” debate, particularly after a segment from a separate podcast featuring Aaryan was attached to it. In this podcast, Aaryan comments that “everyone is trying to be an outsider today,” a statement that has fueled further discussion online.

Netizens reacted sharply to Advani’s “nobody” remark, with some criticizing her for what they perceived as false modesty. In a popular Reddit thread, one user highlighted Advani’s extensive connections within the industry, referencing her ties to prominent figures such as Salman Khan, Juhi Chawla, and influential Bollywood families. Another comment compared Advani to Shraddha Kapoor, suggesting that if Kapoor could be considered an outsider, then so could Advani. Others expressed skepticism about Advani’s public persona, with one troll remarking, “Kiara does not come across as genuine in her interviews…there’s some pretense in the way she speaks.”

The resurfaced video and ensuing debate underscore the unending fascination with Bollywood’s insider-outsider dynamic. Meanwhile, on the career front, Kiara Advani is set to appear in Game Changer alongside Ram Charan, and in War 2, opposite Hrithik Roshan.
