Kiara Advani discussed the mixed reception of her film Toxic: A Fairytale For Grown-Ups on Koffee With Karan Season 9. She described the film's box office underperformance and negative reviews as heartbreaking, especially during the opening weekend. Despite criticism, Advani received praise for stepping outside her comfort zone with her role. She also addressed backlash over intimate scenes with co-star Yash, noting her husband Sidharth Malhotra was unbothered and they never discussed the controversy. Advani called for an end to such criticism.
