In trade parlance, an actor has truly arrived when s/he lands a titular role in a project. Almost six years after making her Bollywood debut, Kiara Advani could well say that she has broken into the big league as she stars in and as Indoo in Indoo Ki Jawani. "I don't feel I have arrived yet," she says over phone. "But I do assume greater responsibility for my films now. There is a sense of confidence instilled in me when I know that a director or producer wants only me in the film. It has taken a long time to get to a phase where I am telling the stories I want to tell. There are directors who are willing to wait for my dates, and I want to live up to their faith in me."
