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.

Loyal to the end
When you’re friends with one of the richest and more powerful families in the world, you’re going to get all kinds of questions. So, when Kiara appeared on The Kapil Sharma Show, she was put to the test by the comedian. He asked whether it’s true that the Ambanis only wear their clothes once. Staying loyal to her gal pal, Kiara laughed nervously and simply replied with “you are going to get me into trouble”.
Privacy is everything
Ambani has been very careful to carve out a private life for herself. Speaking about her childhood, the heiress said growing up she never felt different from her classmates and when she was studying abroad she was “pretty much anonymous”.

Girls just want to have fun
Kiara is considered part of the Ambani family and is often obvious at intimate family events. When Isha's brother, Akash, got engaged a glam soirée was held. Kiara gave fans a snippet of the fun, posting a video of herself with Isha and friends. Celebrating their long-standing BFF status, Kiara said “All grown up but kids at heart”.
