actress Huma Qureshi has praised her Toxic co-star Kiara Advani for continuing to work during her pregnancy, recalling a rain sequence they filmed together for the upcoming Yash-led movie. Speaking at the film’s pre-release event in Chennai, Qureshi said watching Kiara remain composed during the physically demanding scene became a source of motivation for her.
Huma Recalls Filming a Rain Sequence With Kiara
Qureshi shared details about the scene while making it clear that she was not revealing a spoiler. She recalled that both actresses had to perform in heavy rain, and the conditions became physically uncomfortable for her during the shoot.
The actress said she developed a severe headache while filming and found herself looking towards Kiara whenever she felt like complaining. According to Qureshi, Kiara was around six months pregnant at the time and remained steady while completing the scene.
Qureshi said seeing Kiara continue with the sequence despite the circumstances made her think about how motivating the actress’s determination was. Her comments focused on the professional commitment she witnessed on set rather than revealing details of the scene itself.
Qureshi Sends Her Best Wishes for Toxic
During the Chennai event, Qureshi also expressed confidence that Toxic would receive plenty of affection from audiences. The film, starring Yash in the lead, is scheduled for theatrical release on Wednesday.
The project has attracted considerable attention since its teaser was released, while the song Tauba Tauba also generated discussion after Kiara appeared in it. Qureshi’s remarks at the event instead highlighted her experience of working alongside Kiara and the impression the actress made during filming.
Toxic is directed by Geetu Mohandas and features an ensemble cast. Alongside Yash and Kiara Advani, the film includes Nayanthara, Huma Qureshi, Tara Sutaria and Rukmini Vasanth.
Kiara and Sidharth Welcomed Their Daughter
The report also recalls the personal milestone Kiara and her husband Sidharth Malhotra experienced after the film’s production period. The couple announced the birth of their daughter on Instagram in July last year, describing the arrival as a moment that transformed their world.
Following the announcement, the actors requested paparazzi and the public to respect their newborn daughter’s privacy. The couple has generally kept their child away from public photographs.
According to the source material, the couple has identified their daughter as Saraaya Malhotra. Their decision to protect her privacy has remained an important part of their approach to sharing family moments publicly.
Their Relationship Began With Shershaah
Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra worked together in the 2021 film Shershaah. Their chemistry in the movie attracted considerable attention, and speculation about a relationship between the two actors grew after their collaboration.
The pair eventually made their relationship public before getting married in 2023. They tied the knot in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, in a ceremony attended by family members and close friends.
Photographs from the wedding were widely shared across social media, making their marriage one of the prominent celebrity events of that year. Since then, the couple has continued to balance their public careers with their private family life.
