Bollywood actress Kiara Advani, who recently embraced motherhood, has well-established her name in the entertainment industry with her stunning looks and stellar performance. She is known for her movies like Kabir Singh, Good Newwz, Jugjugg Jeeyo and more.

However, a social media user has recently shared a video claiming to ‘expose the real-life’ personality of the actress. A user took to his Instagram and shared a video, recalling the time when he shared a flight with Satyaprem Ki Katha actors Kiara Advani and Kartik Aaryan.

He recalled the encounter and revealed that he, along with his mother were coming from Jaipur to Mumbai on a flight and spotted Kiara and Kartik on the same flight as they were returning after promoting their film then.

The social media user revealed that he was travelling with his mother and brother in business class, like the actors.

He said, “My mother was confused in the first row seat. She sat in the first seat. She got confused. So Kiara Advani came. If someone is sitting in your seat, you can say, It's my seat. It's a very normal thing to do. But obviously, she is a celebrity. Although we were also in business class.”

He recalled, “But no, she is a celebrity. So how can she talk like that? That girl gave such a bad look. As if her seat is spoiled. How can a non-celebrity person sit there? Then she gave that bad expression. She didn't say anything. Then the air hostess saw. She came and said, Ma'am, your seat is not this. Your seat is the one behind.”

“So mom got up and went back. Then she played bubble candy crush the whole flight. Like our parents do on the whole flight. And then Kartik said, It's very weird. She didn't interact with the rest of the staff. She came and sat like this. During the two-hour flight, he [Kartik] was constantly talking with Kiara. These actors talk non-stop in English. If a word of Hindi comes by mistake, it will be a crime,” he continued.

However, the man further recalled that Kartik and Kiara also refused to give a picture to the air hostess.

The man continued to express his frustration with how different the on-screen and off-screen persona a celebrity are and noted, “Once Deepika Alia did it, I still understand that expression.”

He added, “That's why I never understand celebrity worship culture. People act as they know them. But they don't care. And I don't know why people start debating if someone says bad things to them. They will treat you the same way. If you meet in front of them.”

On the work front, Kiara Advani is gearing up to star in Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, alongside Yash.
