Today, Kiara Advani has established herself as one of the leading actresses in Indian cinema with a number of successful films to her credit. But the journey to come so far has been filled with highs and lows.
The actress made her acting debut with Fugly in 2014. Also featuring Mohit Marwah, Arfi Lamba, Vijender Singh, and Jimmy Shergill in important roles, the film received severe criticism from critics and fell flat at the box office.
Speaking to a popular radio host about a ‘moment of courage’ professionally, Advani said, “For me, it was right after my first film. The film did not work and from there, I was like, ‘I don’t know what I’m going to do with my life, I don’t know if I’ll get a second chance, another opportunity.’ Of course, I was much younger and I felt that it’s not going to happen. I just started feeling very low. I did not want to go out, I did not want to meet people and all of that.”
The actress added that she knew her worth and instead of feeling depressed about what had happened, she gathered herself and started working on her craft assiduously. “But then, I just felt like, the one thing I have confidence in is that I can act and no matter what happens, I was like, ‘This is what I want to do.’ Just because my first film did not do well does not mean I stop and don’t try again. So, I got myself together. I went back, enrolled in other acting classes, dance classes, whatever to fill my day and prepare myself. I just decided that I am not going to stop, I am going to keep going and believe in myself. That was my moment of courage,” she said.
Kiara Advani is presently busy promoting her upcoming film Shershaah, also starring Sidharth Malhotra in the lead role. The film starts streaming on August 13 on Amazon Prime Video.
No final blueprint exists for the show's conclusion.
The original ending plan from season 15 is totally scrapped.
Fan devotion is the reason for the 22-season marathon.
Rhimes suggests the audience now holds a stake in the finale decision.
Aiming for a positive send-off, but no timeline is on the table.
The woman who built Grey’s Anatomy from scratch has no idea how it ends. Seriously. That’s wild, right? After 450 episodes and this current Grey’s Anatomy season 22, the person who started it all is just as in the dark as we are. She thought it would be over years ago. This whole endless Shondaland saga? It’s on you: the fans.

Whatever happened to the original ending?
Gone. Rhimes had one, way back. When the series hit roughly its 150th episode, she already had the final moment mapped out. But things didn’t go as planned and the story just kept expanding. She once imagined it would all wrap up by the fourth or fifth season. Now, seeing it still running strong in 2024, she can only call it “insane.”
This is the interesting bit. Rhimes is handing over some of the keys. She says the decision isn't really just hers any more. It's the fans' and the cast's. There's a debt there, you know? After all, they’ve stuck with it. So, ending it feels like a group vote. She can't just yank the cord without a nod from the crowd. It’s their show as much as hers, maybe more.
What can we expect from the finale whenever it comes?
No date, no plot details. Rhimes just has a vibe she's chasing. She wants it to be "positive," a "great way" to finish. It's vague, sure, but it tells you something. She's not planning some brutal, everyone-dies cliffhanger. Maybe. Probably. The goal seems to be satisfaction over shock. But with this show, who knows? They could change their minds ten times before the final script is printed.
