Actor Kanikka Kapur, known for the film Batwara 1947, has addressed comparisons with Bollywood star Kiara Advani. Speaking to NDTV, Kapur said she used to correct people who claimed they looked alike, but now she asks them to check with Advani herself. "When people first started comparing me, I used to tell them, 'No, no, no.' I felt it was my responsibility to correct them," she said. The actor did not directly answer whether she agrees with the comparison, instead directing the question to Advani.
The fixation on celebrity lookalikes often overshadows individual talent. Kanikka's deflection is a smart way to starve the gossip machine while keeping focus on her work in Batwara 1947. But the real test will be whether audiences judge her performance on its own merits or let the Kiara shadow linger. Can a debutante escape such comparisons without a hit to prove herself?
