Bollywood actress, Kiara Advani who rose to fame after playing the lead role opposite Shahid Kapoor in Kabir Singh is right now promoting her upcoming film, Shershaah. This is Kiara’s second biopic after Neeraj Pandey’s M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story (2016), where she played the real-life character of Sakshi Rawat, a hotel manager, and cricketer M.S. Dhoni’s wife. In the war drama, Shershaah, Kiara will be seen playing Captain Vikram Batra’s love interest, Dimple Cheema.
Captain Vikram Batra is a definition of courage and inspiration and his real-life love story with Dimple Cheema is also very famous. We will get to see the same in the upcoming movie Shershaah. Captain Batra died fighting with the enemy at a height of 16,000 feet during the Kargil conflict in 1999. Dimple was engaged with the love of her life, Captain Batra, and never married any other person after his death.
Recently in an interview with a media portal, Kiara was asked if she could also love someone the way Dimple loved Captain Batra. To this Kiara replied, ” I would definitely aspire to have a love story that would make me feel the same way because I’m sure it must have been so precious for her to have made this choice to let that love go beyond one’s lifetime. So in that sense, it’s very aspirational as a love story. And the common thread that I feel, connects me with her is that I truly am as a Leo I am very loyal in love so I feel like that’s one part of my personal life that I would always prioritize. I like the way she did as well so I could totally relate to her.”
Kiara also reminisced about her first meeting with Dimple Cheema. The actress said, “It was wonderful! We met in Chandigarh before shooting for the film. She came to my hotel room and we were just two women sitting, it was just like a woman-to-woman conversation. She very sweetly shared, I didn’t have to ask her any questions she was sharing it and reliving her memories and time with Captain Vikram Batra, there is still so much love in her eyes while she was speaking of him like he is still around. Like he’s still there and he’s hearing us or that’s how she feels.”
She further added, “Everything that she had mentioned in a conversation, everything that she has shared with me was all in the script. So I kept thinking oh yeah I could literally understand that our seen is this and this is that scene. It was beautiful. It was truly special.”
The Kabir Singh actress is currently been rumored to be dating Sidharth Malhotra. The two will be seen sharing the screen space for the first in Shershaah, a movie based on the life of Kargil hero, Vikram Batra.
What sparked Sidharth and Kiara’s Dating rumors?
The rumors of Kiara and Sidharth’s affair popped up for the first time when Akshay Kumar hinted about the same on The Kapil Sharma show. Kiara and Akshay went on the show to promote their film Laxmi. Host Kapil casually asked Kiara about her relationship and dating life. Kiara politely answered it and said, “Whenever I talk about my personal life, it will be when I’m married.” Akshay jumped into the discussion and said, “Ye Badi Siddhanto wali ladki hai,” after which all of them burst into laughter. This came as an indication of Sidharth being a crucial part of Kiara’s life.
Directed by Vishnuvardhan, Shershaah will release on 12 August on the digital platform, Amazon Prime Video. We wish the entire team of Shershaah the best of luck with the film.
