Celebrities, like the public , make blunders in life. The public gradually forgets about them as they move on and concentrate on their careers. However, occasionally, their history comes back to haunt them. On Karan Johar’s chat program, do you recall when Alia Bhatt answered a GK question incorrectly? Fans still have vivid memories of that episode. The internet is in a frenzy since an old video of another Alia has recently surfaced. We are referring to Kiara Advani, who, following her acting debut, changed her name from Alia to Kiara. This 2019 interview, in which the actor stumbled on naming South Indian states and languages, has led to her being viciously abused.
In 2019, Kiara and Ram Charan appeared on Rana Daggubati’s chat show to promote their Telugu action movie Vinaya Vidheya Rama. Rana asked Kiara if she was familiar with the South’s states and languages during their enjoyable conversation. Kiara stated Telangana and Karnataka with confidence when Ram asked her to name them, but she struggled to say “Andhra Pradesh.” For her to guess Tamil Nadu, Rana had to offer her a tip. However, Kiara was stunned when he asked her which state Malayalam is spoken in. For the same reason, the actor is currently receiving trolling, with many drawing comparisons between her moment of error and Alia’s notorious rapid round.
On this Reddit thread, one social media user stated: “She is showing off her low IQ. Being an Indian and not knowing our own states and their languages is shameful. Kiara, it doesn’t look cute. You look dumb and stupid here!,” while another netizen claimed, “Her original name was Alia, what do you expect?” Another internet user quipped, “I genuinely don’t know what these kids do during their time studying in some of the best schools in India. Matlab yeh toh government school wala backbencher bhi keh sakta hai (me). Funny thing is, one of the biggest films of her career is a sequel for the remake of a malayalam movie lmao,” whereas a comment read: “Well her real name is Alia so makes sense.”
On the film front, Kiara will reunite with Ram next year on the silver screen in their much-awaited Telugu political action drama Game Changer
