There was a sense of nervousness, but a feeling of honour, says Kiara Advani on 'Shershaah'

Her upcoming role of Dimple Cheema in the biopic "Shershaah", for instance, is an act that has stayed with Kiara Advani, emotionally. 

Dras: Kiara Advani exudes GenNow Bollywood assuredness while opening up on the ability to dissociate oneself from external pressures such as trolling, nepotism talk or the industry's camp culture. The actress, who traces her lineage to the legendary Ashok Kumar and Saeed Jaffery, says it's in a day's work. "We learn to detach as actors. One lives like a split personality in a way, doing so many roles in the course of the work day, and we learn how to keep that bit separate from our lives in a way," says Kiara, about the negativity that comes with the profession. The roles she portrays on screen could be a different deal, though. Her upcoming role of Dimple Cheema in the biopic "Shershaah", for instance, is an act that has stayed with her, emotionally. The film tells the story of Param Vir Chakra recipient and Kargil War hero Captain Vikram Batra. Playing Captain Batra's fiancee Dimple let Kiara play a defining role in the film's attempt to explore the war hero's love life. For this, Kiara says she had to understand Dimple first.
