Kiara Advani has opened up about one of the most emotional moments from the making of Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, revealing how her co-star Yash and director Geetu Mohandas reacted when she told them about her pregnancy.
Speaking at the Chennai pre-release event for Toxic, Kiara revealed that after informing her family, Yash and Geetu were among the first people she shared the happy news with. According to the actress, their immediate reaction was not concern about the film’s schedule or production difficulties, but genuine happiness for her.
Kiara recalled that both Yash and Geetu smiled with tears in their eyes, congratulated her and assured her that they would continue the journey together. She said they did not immediately think about how the team would complete the film or deal with the logistical challenges created by her pregnancy.
The actress said their response left a lasting impression on her. Rather than making her feel that her pregnancy could become an obstacle to the film, Yash and Geetu made her feel comfortable and supported. Kiara recalled being encouraged to come to the sets, stay comfortable, eat what she wanted and continue working without unnecessary pressure.
Yash later spoke about the experience himself, praising Kiara's professionalism and commitment to Toxic. He revealed that he and Geetu were particularly protective of her during the shoot because the film involved physically demanding sequences. He jokingly described the two of them as her “bouncers” and “bodyguards” on set.
Kiara filmed portions of Toxic during her pregnancy, making the production particularly challenging. Her dedication has since become one of the talking points surrounding the film, especially as Toxic marks her return to the big screen after embracing motherhood.
The actress's revelation also highlights the close bond she developed with Yash and Geetu during the making of the film. For Kiara, their reaction to her pregnancy was more meaningful than simply receiving professional support—it made her feel that she could continue pursuing her work without having to choose between her personal and professional journeys.
With Toxic now releasing, Kiara's story has added an emotional layer to the film's journey. Her experience behind the scenes, combined with Yash's efforts to ensure her safety and comfort, has given fans another reason to look at the film's making with interest.
