Meanwhile, did you know that Kiara once had a crush on Tollywood star Vijay Deverakonda ?

The revelation unfolded during a candid chat featuring Rana Daggubati and Ram Charan . Both Ram and Rana teased Kiara for her accent and the way she tries to speak in South Indian languages.


Ram Charan about Kiara's crush

Soon, Ram Charan couldn’t resist teasing Kiara about her admiration for the Arjun Reddy star. When Kiara shared that she is a huge fan of Vijay, Ram jokingly recounted how the actress would often ask about Vijay before attending their family gatherings. She always wanted to know whether Deverakonda would be present at the family dinner.

Kiara admitted that she “really liked him.” She even asked Rana to introduce her to Deverakonda, as he revealed that they are good friends. The interaction won over fans and social media.

Kiara and Vijay haven’t collaborated on a film yet, but the actress played the lead role in Kabir Singh , which was the remake of Deverakonda’s hit film Arjun Reddy. The movie featured Shahid Kapoor in the lead role.
