While Kiara Advani’s brief display in a bikini in the War 2 teaser amassed great publicity, it also contributed a fair share of backlash on social media. Netizens commented that she was simply imitating Deepika Padukone’s iconic look in Pathaan and termed her destiny based on glamour instead of quality cinema. Kiara Advani Getting Trolled For Copying Deepika Padukone For Fame.

Kiara Advani Getting Trolled For War 2:

In War 2’s first teaser on May 20, 2025, Kiara sports a bright lime-green bikini, seen as her personal debut on-screen bikini look. It quickly jumped to the trending section, with some even hailing her to erase Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR under the lead actors. But a lot of breath also showered criticism, and the common conclusion revealed that it was attention-seeking just like Deepika Padukone’s famous bikini shot in Pathaan, and thus sparked debate.

Copycat Claims and Backlash from Glamour
The online critics pulled no punches. A few netizens pronounced the bikini scene as artificial and superficial. It also took offense to Kiara’s copying Deepika’s glam-infused visuals instead of compelling content or performance. Comments like “Deepika Padukone ki copy kar rahi hai” and so on, stated that the film has gone to being as hooky as showing swimwear for publicity hype.

Reddit discussions did the rounds, repeating bygone accusations that Kiara is copying Deepika in dressing, mannerisms, and generally in public persona, adding to the fact that she seems to be lacking in originality.

Deepika Padukone in Pathaan:

Deepika’s Pathaan bikini scene had stirred enough controversies and political backlash to it, but it also turned out to be very popular. Critics argue that such a moment lacks context and storytelling motivation, hence criticism that Kiara used similar imagery is superficial.

While such spectacular visuals catch the eyes, the bulk of viewers expect the storyline, characterization, and performance to be of more significance than glamor shots. But Kiara has had commercial hits like Game Changer and SatyaPrem Ki Katha. However, the trolls against her claim that she has been depending on bikini visuals to grab eyeballs instead of strengthening her portfolio with depth-driven roles.
