Did You Know? Kiara Advani Changed Her Real Name Due To Salman Khan & It Has A Connection With Alia Bhatt

Kiara Advani has completed 7 years in Bollywood today. She marked her debut with the 2014 release, Fugly. Right from her first film, Kiara became a national crush. Thereafter, with each passing film, Kiara proved that she is more than just a typical B’Town beauty. No doubt, she deserves every bit of love she gets from fans but did you know, Salman Khan has a major role to play in Kiara’s career? Here’s all you need to know.

For Kiara, who made her Bollywood debut at the age of 22, Salman Khan has always been a big support. Not just the work advice, but the Dabangg actor had also suggested changing her name. For the unversed, Kiara’s real name is Aaliya.

Salman Khan thought Aaliya name would create a clash with Alia Bhatt and there would be no uniqueness. Speaking about the same, Kiara Advani had said, “Aaliya is my first name. Salman suggested me to change it because of Alia Bhatt because there can’t be two actresses with the same name in Bollywood.”
