The actress will be back with a bang in the action-thriller Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups, releasing on August 26, 2026. Ahead of that, the sizzling song, Tabaahi, was released to heighten the buzz around the movie. But it instead sparked backlash against the actress for her intimate scenes with lead actor, Yash. Amid the hate train against Kiara, her co-star has come to her defense, calling out the disparity in how male and female actors are treated.
Kiara Advani’s Toxic co-star defended her against Tabaahi song backlash
British actor and Kiara Advani’s co-star in Toxic, Benedict Garrett spoke out for her after days of backlash that she received for Tabaahi music video. The intense trolling was particularly focused on her participating in steamy, intimate sequences with Yash despite being a married woman and a mother. They policed her project choices, arguing that she should not perform such roles due to her real-life status. The trolls have flooded Kiara’s Instagram comment section with vile remarks, claiming she wronged her husband, Sidharth Malhotra, by getting too close to Yash on-screen.
