Why Isha Ambani and Kiara Advani are BFFs – and how the Bollywood actress and heiress daughter of billionaire Mukesh weathered ups and downs over the years
They’re rich, powerful and famous – here’s how a Bollywood star and a billionaire heiress navigate their relationship
Childhood friends
Past the mansions, TV shows and all that money, Isha and Kiara’s bond goes back to when they were little girls. When Isha got engaged to Anand Piramal, Kiara paid tribute to her pal, calling her “my oldest friend”. She described Isha as “humble and caring” saying that the heiress had remained “as amazing as you were when we first met”.
Battling perceptions
Despite their long history together, Kiara says that being friends with Isha comes with a hefty tag. The Kabir Singh actress explained how after opening up about her friendship with Isha, many people judged them, refusing to see their friendship had depth. Kiara said that people assumed that because she was friends with a heiress, that meant that she hadn’t struggled in life. Kiara defended her own struggles, insisting that Isha’s wealth did not impact her work life or what she had gone through.
