00:00 Actress Kiara Alvani has recently returned from a holiday with her husband Siddharth
00:04 Malhotra.
00:05 Adding to her accolades, Kiara has been honoured as the International Advertising Association
00:10 brand endorser of the year in the female category.
00:13 During the event, the actress was posed with a question regarding pay disparity in the
00:17 industry.
00:18 In response, she offered her perspective saying, "This is a very large debate.
00:22 It's world over and in every field.
00:24 If I strictly have to stick to the ad world, I feel it's changing there.
00:28 I think it's important to value yourself.
00:31 It's important to be not deluded.
00:33 Know where you stand and what you bring to the table.
00:36 I would not want to compare myself to what my male or female counterpart is receiving."
00:46 The 31-year-old actress elaborated, "If I think this is my worth, then I would like
00:50 to associate myself with people who see the same.
00:54 I am growing and I am happy with the way I am valued.
00:57 I would stick to that.
00:59 It is important to see how you are growing and from where you have come.
01:03 That's how I look at it."
01:07 On the professional front, there are rumours that Kiara might portray a negative role in
01:11 Ranveer Singh's speculated project, 'Ton 3'.
01:14 However, there is no official confirmation from the makers yet.
01:19 In another venture, she sets to star in 'Game Changer' alongside Ram Charan.
01:24 Recently, Kiara was seen at the Wagah border in Punjab, where she faced criticism after
01:29 videos and photos of her holding the national flag went viral.
01:33 While attempting to wave the flag, she appeared to struggle, prompting Nadeem's backlash
01:38 as they expressed their discontent over the incident.
01:40 The report said that the 'Ton 3' project is a 'successful' project and will continue to grow.
