Kiara Advani is one of the leading Bollywood actresses, who has made it big with no time in the industry with her roles like Preeti in Kabir Singh to the sprightly Monika Batra in Good Newwz. However, not many would know that the actor comes with strong connections in Bollywood.
As per reports in Hindustan Times, Kiara was born on July 31, 1992 to Jagdish Advani, a Mumbai-based Sindhi businessman and Genevieve Jaffrey, a teacher. For the unversed, Kiara is the step-great-granddaughter of Bollywood legend Ashok Kumar and the grandniece of Saeed Jaffrey.
Her mother Genevieve is the daughter of Saeed’s brother Hamid and his first wife, a British woman. In course of time, Hamid divorced his British wife and married Bharti Ganguly, who is one of the daughters of Ashok Kumar.
Speaking about this to a leading daily, Kiara had explained: “My nana, who is Saeed Jaffrey’s brother, married twice. My first nani (my mom’s mom) was a Britisher. Even though he was a Muslim, he divorced her to marry my second nani (Bharti Ganguly), who is Ashok Kumar’s daughter. While my first nani went travelling around the world, it was my second nani who raised my mom from when she was 13. While my nana died a few years back, my first nani is back in India and we are all one big, happy family.”
